Gun Control Kills Jobs

(GunReports.com) -- Writing in the Washington Times in last week, Richard Diamond pointed out that ever since Barack Obama was sworn in as president, the economy has misfired. Jobs remain scarce and the market has yet to recover the value it had prior to the 2007 crash.

Then Diamond wrote, "Though Mr. Obama’s policies have unintentionally given a major boost to an industry he hates - firearms - even this one bright spot hasn’t necessarily translated into new employment.

"Take Sturm Ruger Co., one of the few publicly traded U.S. gunmakers. Anyone who happened to invest $100 in the firm’s stock on Mr. Obama’sInauguration Day would have about $532 today. That’s stellar performance in any business climate. According to company filings, Ruger had orders in hand for twice as many guns as it had the capacity to manufacture. Under ordinary circumstances, such sustained demand would be a green light to expand production lines and make new hires.

"Unfortunately, Ruger, like most corporations, is afraid of what the Obama administration has up its sleeve."

I have been waiting for a 5" Redhawk for months. I do understand Ruger's holding off on expanding. I am sure other makers are in the same position. What I do not understand is why is Omama so anti-job unless it is these stupid greenie jobs?. Same thing in the oil industry. Still want that Redhawk though. Guess I have to wait.

Well, I found it kind of hard to find the statement in the linked article where 'gun control kills jobs'. Apparently, it's the one where the author links it to companies moving out of state. But that's moving jobs, not killing them, unless you only consider the town that lost the company. Colt, for example, moved to Florida where they had 63 jobs - but no mention of whether those CT employees were asked to move there or not. And I doubt that 'fears' are stopping jobs. Most companies with a lot of orders they think are temporary just work their staff overtime and don't hire until they are convinced the new demand is long-term.

Just lame reporting in my opinion.

David - lame reporting? From the entertain-alists? Really??? ;)

Seriously though, I get the author's point. In his Ruger example, he indicates Ruger would (presumably) expand were it not for fears of the investment being for naught due to what Obama's administration might due in a second term; thus, by Ruger not expanding, potential jobs are "being killed." I've said this for years - do the anti-gunners have any idea how big of an economic impact we shooters provide?

Keep buying guns while we are able guys.

The best approach to preserving our Second Amendment rights is to make certain that Obama and others of his ilk are defeated in the upcoming election. That said, if the Republican party doesn't get its act together and field a candidate who will trounce Obama, we may well be looking at some bleak times ahead. I don't, however, foresee any time in the near term that firearms will be erased from the American scene. Most of us can reflect back on what the Volstead Act did for the cause of alcohol consumption in America. Ultimately, of course, Prohibition was repealed. I'd anticipate that we will not ever get close to the criminalization of firearms the same way we did with alcohol. Alcohol was a consumable substance, and the criminalization of it fell in with the manufacture, import, and consumption of it. With firearms, it is a different situation, insofar as firearms are not consumable, and there are loads of them out there. While ammo might be considered as a consumable resource, there are, and will be, measures taken by gun owners to produce, obtain, and or keep stores of ammunition on hand.

Some may say that I am overly optimistic, but I have always been a pragmatic optimist, and I do not envision firearms ever being removed from the American scene.

Disarming the American public would be a near impossible task. But of course, a law outlawing ownership would make us all criminals.

If I was in charge and I wanted to control firearms, I wouldn't go after the guns, I would go after the manufacture and sale of ammo. It would take about 50 years to significantly deplete the supply. There would always be guys that load their own, but along with control of the ammo, you also control the powder, brass, and equipment. Would take a while and I will be long dead but in 50 years you could see a lot of guns still around but not a lot of ammo. Just my thoughts.

Cecil - wasn't that thought on Obama's initial agenda with a 500% "sin tax" he wanted on ammo?

Canovack - I think we should shoot frequently enough that guns become a consumable! :)

What a marvelously Utopian thought, PVB.

Comment by: canovack | January 14, 2012

PVB, I never liked BHO from the get go so I didn't follow every issue he claimed to favor. I came up with that idea 40 years ago, when I was a cop and the mood was that we needed to take guns away to prevent all those killings. It was mostly just sitting around shooting the shit with others who knew that disarming the public would be a near impossible task.
