No long term plan can be made, nor are any meaningful development - if they put money into R&D, who to say they still have the job by the time R&D is completed?
And yet we still manufacture guns, if anything, gun companies could just sell more guns overseas to boost profits.

You have to get permission from the federal government to sell a gun outside of the US. It's also difficult to compete with the Russians and their cheap AKs. Finally, some countries want the weapons manufactured in the country. That's how Taurus came to be. Beretta was making guns from the Brazillian army and the contract ran out. Beretta left the factory and tooling when it was sold and because Taurus. That's why their semi-auto 9mm looks very, very similar to the Beretta 92.

Huh? So basically you are discrediting that gun manufacturers make a lot of money selling guns overseas? Not sure what is propaganda about that fact.
