Trump Win Sinks Gun Stocks and Gun Shop Sales (New York Post)

Owners of Smith & Wesson stock who voted for Donald Trump must feel like they shot themselves in the foot.

While their candidate is riding high — and will be sworn in as the country’s 45th president in just 61 days — their portfolio is feeling a little tattered.

Since Election Day, Smith & Wesson shares were down 15 percent heading into Monday’s opening bell. Shares of Sturm, Ruger were down 17 percent over the same span.

And the pain may not be temporary.

Americans who raced to gun shops to buy guns over the past four years — and in the four weeks leading up to Nov. 8 — out of fear that President Obama and Hillary Clinton (who was then leading in the polls) would soon move to cut off their Second Amendment rights — are now slowing the buying spree.

Gun shop owners are seeing a steep drop-off in sales since Election Day.
