The election will drive sales up again, plus the normal cycles of the past decades as we move through the summer into fall/winter.

Last winter, which is always a high-tide mark for sales, there were plenty of 1st time buyers at the various gun stores.

This current "lull" follows just about all the previous years going back to 1998, but annually the over-all numbers just trend higher and higher.
