We now live in a political environment that has a POTUS that seems hell bent on destroying the Economy, kill off small business's and kill Jobs and create more homeless. The Illegal Immigrants will and ARE taking over Jobs, and will increase crime while at the same time he is hellbent on taking away protection from law abiding Citizens, defunding the Police etc.

What the anti's do not consider nor speak of. How many people in your state will the Anti's effect?

Companies in the United States that manufacture, distribute, and sell firearms, ammunition, and hunting equipment employ as many as 150,707 people in the country and generate an additional 181,501 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries. These include jobs in supplying goods and services to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, and those that depend on sales to workers in the firearms and ammunition industry.[1]

These are good jobs paying an average of $55,200 in wages and benefits. And today, every job is important. The United States currently has an unemployment rate of 3.68 percent.

Yes, and don't forget the $11,000,000,000 that the Pitman-Robertson tax on firearms, ammo, and archery contributed to conservation in America. Nothing to sneeze at, either.

This makes me want to run down to my lgs and buy 10k small pistol primers.

Wait for the next shoe to drop, the repeal of The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a United States law that protects firearms (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Firearms) manufacturers and dealers (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Federal_Firearms_License) from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products.

Wait for the next shoe to drop, the repeal of The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a United States law that protects firearms (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Firearms) manufacturers and dealers (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Federal_Firearms_License) from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products.
If the SCOTUS allows the repeal of that protection, then all US manufacturers will be liable for the deliberate misuse of their products.
