2016 RUGER EARNINGS $664 MILLION; $4.59 PER SHARE
2017 $522 MILLION; $2.91 PER SHARE
THAT IS A DROP IN EARNINGS OF OVER 20%
Not to worry, lower taxes mean more income for guns.

Having a Socialist Muslim president is a rare (I hope) boon for gun sales to a free nation. I bet it stabilizes with the improving economy.
What factor do foreign sales play? I mean compared to domestic sales for the large companies? Most citizens in the world are not free but the police and military that keep them in check need guns.
Ruger don't build AK47's or MP5's

Ruger even made a sub-gun 9mm that looked like the odd Beretta sub. Google it. Ruger revolvers were always popular abroad for guards and police. I bet there is a lot we don't generally hear about.

so gun buying was at a feverish rate. In 2017 it settled down with Trump in there. It wasn't that the sales were really down, it was that they were down compared to the buying rush that 2016 brought us. Last year was a good year for us, not quite as good as 2016 but better than in years past other than 2016. Most of the shops that are crying the blues were the ones that stocked up heavily on AR-15s figuring Clinton would get in and they could rape the buying public at 3 times the price they would normally be.They figured wrong and now they are paying for their greed. 2018 is starting out decent and unless we have some drastic problem, should end up s good as 2017 or maybe even a bit better.
Maybe it’s a good time to buy?
