Is there a better business to be in than selling guns?

 

OBama's taking our guns.

We need guns to protect ourselves from Trump.

 

 

Recession proof.

 

American Outdoor Brands is up 785% since Obama's inauguration. :lol2:

With the worst GDP growth in US history under O, this has been the only business doing consistently well.

Do most hard core liberals even know how to load, let alone shoot a gun? :lol2:

 

I've never met a liberal who doesn't know how to call for assistance. They don't need to know how.

I know several on here have spoken of their fear of hand guns especially, pretty sure they wouldn't know a 1911 from Red Ryder.

 

I have no shame in not knowing a thing about guns, but find it peculiar that it would make some feel more like a man with one in their hand.

Kimber has started making a Micro 9mm that I will soon be adding to my collection. Easy to conceal from the liberals. Lots of stopping power.

I'm a lib and I've shot plenty of guns, taken apart and cleaned plenty of guns etc. And while I currently don't own or plan to own any guns, I could care less how many guns you own, or what you do with them as long as it doesn't infringe on my rights.

The talk that all libs hate guns, or are soft, unprepared, or are lesser men because they don't own guns is old and tiresome. There's much more to being a good man than your proficiency with or ownership of guns.

Who said that? I grew up shooting as a kid. I was taught to shoot and how to properly handle a gun at a young age...has nothing to do with making me feel like a man.

What number are you looking for on that growth rate?

It was directed as a generality towards the "some" who do, and to be fair there are many who fall into that category of "some".

I'll gladly take 3.5 to 4%.

See that seems high to me. Like, bubble high.

 

I don't ever see that consistent 4% growth from the 90s coming back and I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

Call me an optimist. I'll wait patiently for 3.5 at least by the end of Trump's first year. :up:

I wish I shared your optimism on growth. I only see a couple ways it happens, both are short term without significant corrective measures attached

 

1) Significant productivity gains from the next big leap forward in technology. The one I see on the horizon is driverless cars. Could make the movement of both people and goods FAR more efficient than now and be a massive boon to transit industries and all companies that rely on transportation of goods.

 

But at the same time, conservative estimates suggest that between long-haul truckers, cab drivers, and others, we'll put about 3 million Americans out of work. That's going to come home to roost. The 21st century is going to be very unkind to a lot folks with certain job skills.

 

2) Low taxes and decreased regulation drive real growth in numerous sectors leading to lots of new jobs. This will almost certainly happen in the short run and (all else being equal) it will win Mr. Trump a second term.

 

But I worry about who will work the new jobs. We're already starting to see exactly who's getting left behind in the 21st century and while increased profits may drive growth in the next four years, I don't think this country has a sufficient labor force to begin finding enough qualified people for 21st century job creation, especially if we cut back on immigration as the president-elect has promised. (Though I suspect that if tech-driven companies ask him en made to back off his promise to curb visas for high-skill workers from overseas, the Republican Congress will find a way to get them here.)

What number are you looking for on that growth rate?

 

Not a single year of 3.0%+ GDP growth, 1.457% average for O. Historically bad will never be toppe post WW2.

I can read too, and I'm sure it answers a question, but not the one I asked. I'd like to know what you think the growth rate should be and why the numbers were so low.
