Great for the industry, But it positively effects this administrations economic image. Gas drilling jobs and oil prices falling plus red states like Texas will help Libtard’s like Hitlery Clinton take credit. The hole thing is kind of a oxymoron, they attack the 2nd amendment and people buy. Wouldn’t suck if the gun industry boosted the economy outlook enoough to get another gun grabber in the white house?
Definitely a negative for the shooter. Higher prices, less availability.
What are we saying?? Let’s shoot our way to progress??
