I am of the opinion that not having all the firearms dealer go bankrupt is better for firearm industry...except for dropshippers I guess.
Give your head a shake.
If a business needs the amount inventory ban money so badly it is already failing and the amount of money from part of their inventory will not save it.
If you cannot generate enough capital to recover from the inventory you invested in knowing for over 1 year that a ban was pending, then you are going under and the inventory money will not save you.
If you need it that badly that is not an amount that will turn it around for you.
Most of the smaller less capitalized business involved are going to close anyway because the ban and the handgun ban and the coming bans are going to reduce their revenue.
There isn't going to be enough business to keep them all going.
Plus you have the coming recession and customers more interested in affording food and fuel than more firearms which is what this business model is built on continuous sales of.
They are doing this to cash in as much as possible before closing up shop.
The larger ones will buy up the inventory that can be sold.
The large business cooperating in this buy out for the weak sisters non sell able inventory facilitates the process.
The bigger business that will stay around are counting on being the only game in town so they can thumb their noses at us.
Obviously they are not going to tell you that.
Thinking that they did not know this was going to blow up their faces is self delusional.
They knew it very well so kept it hidden.
There was also no way that they didn't know that this when it got out was going to be the final coffin nail in the smaller business to got involved in this anyway,
when selling out the customers hit the fan.
That is why they wanted to make the deal and why they are sticking to it.
Its called Take the Money and RUN!
