Something every gun owner in the U.S.A. should own?

[KyGeezer]

We've bought guns and supported gun rights with our votes this year. But, is there something else we can do? I think there is.

There are two publicly owned gun manufacturers...Smith and Wesson Holding Corp. (SWHC) and Strum, Ruger and Co., Inc. (RGR). Shouldn't we all own a piece of them?

Both company's stocks are in the toilet. S&W is trading around $2.00 a share and Ruger around $5.00. In Aug. '07, S&W hit a high of $22.80. Ruger at the time hit $22.58.

I think it's high time we all have a framed stock certificate for these companies hanging on a dining room wall. Don't you?

Not a bad idea!

Done and Done.

I also USED to own a lot of each of their guns... before I SOLD MY ENTIRE COLLECTION last week.

That’s right Mr. Obama and BATFE, I SOLD MY ENTIRE COLLECTION last week...

Both Smith and Wesson Holding Corp. (SWHC) and Strum, Ruger and Co., Inc. (RGR) made deals with the Clinton administration during the Clinton gun ban days. Ban my competitors, but not me and I will cooperate...

Obama is going to try to destroy ALL firearm manufactures. Buy the stock as speculation that they will survive until a Republican takeover...

"I SOLD MY ENTIRE COLLECTION last week"

What a coincidence, SO DID I! (wink wink)

[ConservativeMind]

Why would they have dropped so much, especially since the huge run on guns in the past two months?

[P8riot]

Me too. Just bows and arrows for me. Oh, and my cell phone so I can call 911. I’ve even laid in a supply of chalk so the cops don’t have to bring their own.

"...before I SOLD MY ENTIRE COLLECTION last week."

If I ever had owned any firearms, I would have sold them, too. Just like I would have sold any crossbows or edged weapons that I've never owned.

Then I hope you have an FFL. There may be restrictions on how many weapons you can sell in a year without one.

[I_Like_Spam]

Stock prices are based on future prospects of the company- not necessarily current sales.

[KarlInOhio]

Stocks predict future value. If Obama gets his wish, Smith & Wesson will be making Cuba-style rice cookers next year.

Something every gun owner in the U.S.A. should own? Ammo?

[Eagles6]

S & W has new owners and has repudiated their former stance. I don’t recall what Ruger did?

You won’t need any steak knives either -

eating meat is bad for you, comrade, and you will not be allowed to be treated in our gov’t healthcare system if you test positive for beef.

[Ancesthntr]

That’s right Mr. Obama and BATFE, I SOLD MY ENTIRE COLLECTION last week...

Don't neglect to mention that you sold your used, depreciated, guns at a loss - because otherwise he'll think that you owe some taxes.

[Doomonyou]

I SOLD MY ENTIRE COLLECTION last week...

Mine were all STOLEN last week...

[ctdonath2]

Any other domestic manufacturers we can invest in? Colt? Savage? DPMS?

Under the regime of the Muslim Messiah, Pelosi, and Reid, the police will now be known as “RAT Gestapo.”

[WOBBLY BOB]

I did my part and bought a S&W 2 months ago. (titanium pocket rocket)

better than stock !

[MrB]

Careful - there is an ordinance in Pittsburgh PA that says you must report the theft within 24 hours,

and you sure wouldn’t want to file a false police report either.

Better to have a copy of your classified ad listing “guns for sale” and then tell all the callers that they’re already gone.
