6. The gun "enthusiasts" can only buy so many guns. Those who felt they needed one or a couple

for self/home defense bought what they needed. After the big booms, it's now eased up. It may not even have much to do with attitudes changing. I'm one that just has a few guns. I bought exactly what I wanted. They aren't going to wear out at the pace I use them. I could see trading one or two and spending a little more upgrading, but no one is likely to ever make much more from my gun purchases.

I work a couple gun shows in my area. Those and several more I know of have been down by about a third for some time. That has weeded out a lot of the sellers.

I was laughing at a lot of the people at the shows supporting Trump and with the "Hillary For Prison" shirts and all that. Hillary winning and a new wave of "she's gonna git yer gunz" hysteria would have been the best thing for them. But they can't pass up an opportunity to vote against their own interests.
