I guess it depends on how much of the firearm industry relies on exports for revenue.  An entire quarter with no export sales could be a big dent in a company's ability to operate without laying people off.

Yeah, I thought about that.
So I wonder how many manufacturers rely on exports to hostile countries or drug cartels?

In 2023, the US firearm industry exported:

372,683 handguns
432,510 rifles
  84,997 shotguns
    7,573 muzzle-loaders
-------------------------------------
897,763 total units

One quarter (90 days) on average would be 224,440 units, so about a quarter of a million firearms.

In 2023, the US ammunition industry exported:

789,169,246 cartridges
  44,964,936 shotgun shells
--------------------------------------
834,134,182 total rounds

One quarter on average is 208,533,545 rounds of ammo.

Not small numbers considering how few manufacturers of guns and ammo are in the US.

"When you change policy, you change behaviors...."  This was said in the context of if people are denied firearms, they basically will make their own.

But we all know this can be applied to all behaviors.  Just look at our society now.

Our founding forefathers were afraid of mob rule.  Which is why we have a constitution and a government based on the principles of a Republic.

The mob is probing.  More to come.

The firearm industry should take a note from Larue and even go further.

Yup, if the sellers need to pick up the slack for lost overseas profits, they may increase stuff sold here.
