Firearms distributer files bankruptcy
« on: June 11, 2019, 10:00:30 AM »
The story:  https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/firearms-distributor-files-for-bankruptcy-after-gun-sales-decreased-following-trumps-victory

The title tells most of the story.

Running a business on the plan of one person winning the presidency is probably not a good idea.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

If Hillary would have won, they would have been happy to sell a slow trickle of .22lr for $45/box.

You pays your money and you takes your chances.


The gamble didn't work out for them. But it worked out for us! Inventory glut! Woohoo!

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Sounds like they were betting with borrowed money.

Sounds like these guys were reading APS back in '16.

Or any other right-leaning board.

They were probably banking on selling DPMS oracles for $2500/ea. :rofl:

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Not it's not, but they  gambled on a throw of the diced and threw snake eyes. No new shoes for baby.

It is one of many distributors and it is owned by an investment group, not a committed individual or company.  There are plenty of other fishstick providers.

That depends on whether or not he gets tartar sauce with them.
