The manufacturers were riding a wave. Their greatest salesman Barack drove up sales for years. All the manufactures had to do was look in their crystal ball to know that 2018 would not reach the record levels of 2017. Hillary would be elected and their high profit margin guns would be banned and sales would dramatically decline once the witch was in office, either by law or executive order. Well someone tripped and broke the crystal ball and Trump was elected but the result was the same, sales declined because panic buying ceased. If they are surprised they suck at business planning.
Interesting point, I never thought of it like that but you're right, the spiked prices were temporary no matter who won....though if the B won there would have been another yearish for all the inventory to be sold for top $$$.
