With likely little pushback, one can easily label Smith & Wesson Brands (SWBI) as one of the most controversial companies in the U.S. at the moment. If certain policymakers had their way, both SWBI stock and the underlying firearms industry would go the way of the rotary dial phone – an archaic piece of equipment only to appear in Hollywood films.
Unfortunately for gun control advocates, the firearm industry will probably not only survive but thrive. The harsh reality is that for many years now, there have been more guns than people in the U.S. That’s not to say that everybody in this nation owns firearms – clearly, that’s not the case. However, we can logically assume that those who do exercise the second amendment do so passionately.
