I am sure they will adapt.
Don't forget that .mil and .leo will still have full access to all the evil AWB items that us civilians will be restricted from owning. Good for the goose and gander and all that. |

I think a lot of companies will be fucked.
I seem to recall the Pentagon banning polymer mags recently, so their biggest product is out the window. I don't know how much they make for/on government contracts, but I suspect that the private market is much more fertile for most companies. It would be a damn shame to see a bunch of companies making products with high demand going under because the government legislated them out of business.

I was wondering the same thing. What about companies whose main product is AR15's, such as Noveske. They may not employ thousands of people, but there are still people how are not part of the FSA because of them.

Magpul will be fine. They started during the ban and will continue because they adapt better than most companies. Everyone will want/need 10 round PMAGs, a product they should had brought to market before now. Then more fixed stocks like the entry they have been hinting about. I would imagine they would expand the shotgun line to the Mossberg 500 market. I don't see them having any problems.

A lot of companies would go under, but that's OK by our glorious Leader. After all, if you go by the current leftist dogma, they're just capitalist dogs that haven't got the social conscience to be decent citizens and deserve whatever they get. In fact, they're probably all racist too, so you should hate them.

I would work on desiging convertable and stackable 10-rounders, like lego blocks. For what? Use in Remington 700s? For all the illegal guns we'll still have. http://reason.com/archives/2012/12/22/gun-restrictions-have-always-bred-defian/2 In a white paper on the results of gun control efforts around the world, Gun Control and the Reduction of the Number of Arms, Franz Csaszar, a professor of criminology at the University of Vienna, Austria, wrote, “non-compliance with harsher gun laws is a common event.”
Dr. Csaszar estimates compliance with Australia’s 1996 ban on self-loading rifles and pump-action shotguns at 20 percent. And even that underwhelming estimate gives the authorities the benefit of the doubt. Three years after Australia’s controversial ban was implemented, when 643,000 weapons had been surrendered, Inspector John McCoomb, the head of the state of Queensland’s Weapons Licensing Branch, told The Sunday Mail, "About 800,000 (semi-automatic and automatic) SKK and SKS weapons came in from China back in the 1980s as part of a trade deal between the Australian and Chinese governments. And it was estimated that there were 1.2 million semi-automatic Ruger 10/22s in the country. That's about 2 million firearms of just two types in the country." |

Aimless is right. With the stroke of a pen, Obama is going to make all of our ARs melt into pixie dust and foot powder. Some poor sap is going to be at the shooting range at the exact moment Obama signs the AWB and he's going to get AR glitter all over his face when his rifle disintegrates. Poor America.

Thing is, if I was firmly rooted in an industry that was as susceptible to legislation as EBR accessories, I'da kept a lot more funds fluid than I might if I sold #2 pencils or something. I'da grown the business slower, and kept a "fuck it, I'm foing" fund ready. I'd never dangle my buns out so that a ban at the wrong time would hurt me.
Maybe that'd prevent me from running such a company to begin with. I don't know. I fix computers.
