The value of stock in firearms manufacturers has slumped alot since Jan 2016. If any sitting president made people feel so secure that they dropped the philosophy of "buying up before the big ban", those stocks would slump even more. I do believe there is much that goes on with legislation on firearms (or lack thereof) which is purely financially motivated. And of course you know, very many manufacturers are in Blue states.
The Big Picture is more complicated than just about violence and protection and freedom. Money has a whole lot to do with it and those other tbings become decoys...EXCELLENT decoys...because they are still based on some truths that make people emotional.
