I have prints to build one. Not sure of the size I want to make. Yours sounds about right. Maybe a little bigger. Was gonna do a catapult, but trebuchets are much cooler.
I gave all my guns to homeless teenage welfare mothers and starving children. I think they’re using the guns to “spread the wealth around” at this very moment.
Why is their stock in the tank? I thought gun sales were through the roof?
I like the idea.
In fact, if enough people did it to reduce the float (supply of shares) it should result in an eventual rise in the value of those shares.
I don’t say this because I think people should try to profit from it... only that a high stock price will enable them to raise capital at favorable rates should they need to in the future.
So if 1 million Americans bought 10 shares each and called in the certificates it would cut the float by 25%... and it would only cost about $50 ($20 for the 10 shares and $30 to have the certificate sent to you). Of course, those late in the game might have to pay more for the stock price.
Stock investments tend to look towards the future. There's a lot of uncertainty regarding gun manufacturers given the results of the election. The commies (including Obambi) don't like guns in the hands of the little poeple.
Got news for you, government has not liked that for quite some time. I think were up to approximately 20,000 gun laws now.
I didn’t take your advise. I bought 500 S&W shares with cash in my IRA account yesterday. I’m betting all the downside for the stock has been factored into the price already. I almost feel guilty. It’s like taking candy away from children.
BTW, even if “the One”, Plugs, Dingy Harry and Nasty Nancy manage to tax reloading materials at 100%, the .45 reloads I feed my gorgeous S&W Gunsite edition 1911PD with CT laser grips will be about two thirds of the cost of Winchester white box at Walmart.
Ain't freedom great? :)

Although I live in Fl.; at the time the New Orleans police Dept. came here and confiscated all my weapons, after Katrina. One plainclothes detective also took my wash tub full of beer.
