Long story short, I'm involved with a group of politically conservative folks and have an idea I would like to bring to them to move forward.
  I believe, with no evidence, that the AR platform generates more revenue than any other rifle in the state. I have a list going of mfg shops, retail shops, etc which I would appreciate you adding to, but I need help finding dollars and numbers. How much is spent, how many people employed etc... How many after-market dollars spent at Fleet Farm and others? Almost forgot, there's a lot of ammo being made here, too. I would appreciate any help you guys could offer.

Hard to quantify. Most gun related aftermarket stuff is ordered online these days.

Are you looking to make the AR the official state rifle? If so, why?
