Gunmaker's stock soars !

[DigitalDrifter]

No surprise.

Gunmaker Smith & Wesson up almost 100% in 2015

On Wednesday, the San Bernardino shooting added to an already tragic lineup of gun violence this year that includes Charleston, South Carolina and Colorado Springs, Colorado, where just this week, a gunman killed three people at a Planned Parenthood Clinic.


As details of the latest tragedy continued to unfold, the market sell-off on Wednesday steepened amidst uncertainty about the motive in the San Bernardino shooting.

But one stock that continued to rise through much of Thursday and throughout gun-related violence headlines this year? Gunmaker Smith & Wesson (SWHC)—which clocked in over $500 million in sales last year—up 93% since January.

The company, which is a leading manufacturer of pistols, revolvers, tactical rifles, and black powder firearms, as well as hunting rifles, said in its latest conference call that strong sales are the result of increasing demand.

Since 1980, the number of guns in possession in the United States has essentially doubled to 350 million, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Wedbush Securities estimates that wholesale sales of handguns and long guns (which includes shotguns and rifles) totaled about $4 billion in 2014, based on data released by the Department of Treasury on the collection of the Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax. This marks a CAGR of 12% from 2005 to 2014, mostly driven by handgun sales, which comprise more than 70% of Smith & Wesson’s business.

The NRA is doing a good job stirring up the crazies and increasing the profits of their owners.

You really have to give credit to the NRA and the GOP for foisting this shit on gullible Americans. They've been very successful in getting RWNJs to support arming terrorists, illegals, criminals and crazies.

Fact is, the Dems have been honest and it has cost them.

Actually, the muslims are stirring up the crazies.
And because they are, decent people are arming themselves.

Oh? What have they been honest about?

Their lobbyists are amazing. Its all about selling guns and ammo to the most dishonest and criminal among us and they have succeeded to an amazing degree.

Bottom line to the horrors of all the mass shootings is that the right has won. They're killing almost 100 Americans every week, 3 dead children every single day.

The RWNJs are proud of that death toll and I have to admit they have almost achieved their goal of making this a police state and taking every single freedom and right away from Americans.

The extra income will make it easier to build new factories in some other country where there might less threat of nationalization.

No stupid. Not Muslims.

TERRORISTS.

You RWNJs can no longer pretend you don't know you are giving guns to terrorists.

You can try but fact is, Obama kills terrorists and the GOP, NRA and their brainless followers (that's you) arm them.

Every single terrorist attack on US soil is directly caused by RWNJs like you.

Congratulations for getting what you have been working for.

What country has no institutionalized nationality.....?? You don't like reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to show your conformity?

There is medication that might help for that Luddie but it's not sold to children on the legal market though I have unlimited faith in your ability to sniff some out...........

Please refrain from projecting your vocabulary limitations on others.

Thank You.

Yep. RWs want to take as many jobs as they can out of the US and you're right that this is just another step.

Drumpf must be thrilled.

RWs believe in that old adage of Vote Early and Vote Often and the more votes for Drumpf, the more jobs leave the US.

RWNJs hate the US.

They pledge their allegiance to Pooting.

And giving more guns to terrorists.

 

[HenryBHough]

On the other hand, it may be too late for medication to offer Luddie any solace. Not a quantum; not even a hint.

Pretty sad when you are so self absorbed that you'd run to our enemies before recognizing that niggah in da White House....
