Hey Howard....
Thanks for the link. It's a great read. In fact, I forwarded it to everyone on my mailing list that supports 2nd Amendment....

Have a great day....

O.T.-
To this point, with the recent run on guns and ammo, I have been thinking of ways to invest in this pitiful stock market to make a play on this trend. You know, make some more coin to buy even more toys. ;D

Unfortunately, most of the gun manufactures are privately held companies. There are a few OTC NYSE listed companies such as Alliant Technology Systems listed ATK and of course Smith & Wesson SWHC. ATK may do more military ammo than civilian which may not be a good thing for the incoming administration. Course Ruger may be undercutting S&W with the new LCR.

Charts still look pretty damaged like most everything else but have stopped the freefall and look to be in a basing pattern right now. Worth a speculative look.
