It's funny you mention this because Remington just filed bankruptcy and one of their reasons for it was that Trump got elected. Their business model relies on scaring people into thinking their guns will be taken any day now.

It's always been a bit of irony in the gun industry. Manufacturers want to portray Democrats as evil beings who will take their guns away, but they also really want them to win.
