For those who have not heard, a gun industry advocate , the CSAAA, has opted to assist Crime Minister Trudeau's gun ban and confiscation.
They sheepishly say it remains a bad idea but the facts are clear; they have made a rational and conscious decision to publicly and overtly help in a crime on an industrial scale.
This is absolutely and unequivocally the immoral and incorrect thing to do;
1) It ends the fight for those unwilling to surrender; robbing them of personal choice.
2) It legitimizes the crime about to be committed.
3) It ends the gun industry and the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people.
Now there are dissenting views on this matter.
It was argued to me that a business will get back the value of their inventory. People holding this view fail to realize is all of the banned guns are likely to generate 50% to 100% of additional value, over their initial price tag, through customized options such as sights, scopes, spare magazines, lights lasers or aftermarket parts. It also fails to acknowledge the lost sales from future models of that gun. I also consider it likely that businesses will only be paid their wholesale costs (typically 20-22% less than what the consumer pays).
But what was really stolen was hope. Without a gun industry Judas, this plan could of never got off the ground. There was hope that the government would change. That the resurrection of our industry was forthcoming. That we would only need to suffer these trials and tribulations just a bit longer before we got to the end of this dark tunnel.
The finalization of this plan, aided by the CSAAA, ensures there is no bright future forthcoming for the industry.
The businesses members of the CSAAA that voted for this action, opted to abandon the fight for justice and get their golden payout. Id go so far as to suggest they were likely near retirement anyway and see this as a selfishly easy way to terminate their businesses and spend their lives holding down a chair at the old folks home in comfort.
Millions of gun owners and businesses that are willing to fight and endure were thrown under the bus.
They unilaterally made a choice on our behalf robbing the rest of us the right to fight for our livelihoods.
