Plenty of gun companies will be happy about a new AWB, just like the last one. Ruger didn't just accept the last AWB, he promoted it, he put his name on it supporting it. S&W was happy to make back door deals with Clinton for the promise of being left out of new gun control laws. How worried do you think Browning, Tikka/Sako, Thompson Contender, Beretta, Marlin, Howa, Winchester, Henery, Savage, Weatherby, Benelli, CZ, etc. are about an AWB? How many hunting shotguns do you think Benelli sells for every M4 to civilians, or handguns CZ sells every day for one Bren or Scorpion? The ban not only will have basically no affect their product lines, but it will increase their sales.
The problem with the Republican party is we are so sure we are right, we just assume everyone else will see it, and we don't strategically try and market our ideals/agenda. Most of the uber rich Republicans won't spend their $ to further the cause. We don't market our message, and as soon as someone contradicts our way, we simply get pissy and act like a kid upset at a tetherball game. Dems on the other hand for decades have been using their $ and influence to take over the education system and media outlets. They now control 95% of what your kids get taught in schools and see on TV, from cartoons, marvel movies, from their role models, and the news and it promotes their agenda, and then we wonder why the country is going the direction it is.
Republicans since the 70's as Democrats slowly take over education and media to push their message to the masses.....
