He said gun sales have been down quite a bit since 2016. He said Texas even lowered their gun fee's and made the process more streamlined.


Is Texas pro gun or pro business??



Texas relaxed gun laws after recent mass shootings

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — After dozens of people, including toddlers and teenagers, were gunned down in separate mass shootings at a church Sutherland Springs and a high school in suburban Houston, Texas Republicans came to the Capitol this year with their eyes on new gun laws.

The goal was not to limit access to weapons or ban assault-style rifles, but to expand gun rights. After a pro-gun legislative session applauded by the National Rifle Association, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed new laws that eased restrictions on where firearms can be carried, from schools to churches, apartments and foster homes, and barred cities from passing their own gun and ammunition sales limits.

Texas is definitely pro-gun, I think their market is saturated.

saturated is right.

1. the July before Obama, the gun shows were sell-outs. the vendors sold all they had.
2. Obama2, the ammo was sold by the case. .22LR especially.
3. the big buyers bought big and are done.

personally, i am still shooting my Y2K stash.
$1.50 price stickers on a box of 50 22's.
