Don Jr.'s 'Amazon of Guns' Immediately Tanks on Stock Market Debut

GrabAGun—an online firearms marketplace that Don Jr.’s business partner, Omeed Malik, has described as the “Amazon of guns”—opened on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday.

Don Jr. had bought 300,000 shares in an affiliate company and sits on GrabAGun’s board, Bloomberg reported. The share price ended the day 24 percent down, shearing $1 million off Don Jr.’s holdings, though his shares were still worth $4 million at the closing bell.
