They were selling precision bolt guns post 2020. They were also selling Ruger PC kits....until those were also banned.

Precision bolt actions builds funded the modern sporter R&D for them before it hit market as well as development for the ruger pcc chassis they had. But those 2 products were more widely popular than their bolt gun builds before the bans.

Imagine blaming a small gun company that constantly gets its products banned for closing shop

Imagine continuing to purchase product that you can’t sell hoping a political party wins you can make massive profits from marking up your stored product and being outraged when you lose your gambit.

It’s like the toilet paper hoarders all over again.

Ruger PC9 was banned in 2024. Not sure why youre so eagerly trying to downplay the Liberals' role in a beloved manufacturer shutting down.

Its funny that liberals always preach making life easier and better for everyone but then when the rubber hits the road with their shit policies they become ruthleslly individualistic and blame you. No house? Not working hard enough. No job? Wouldnt be an issue if youre aa top 1% elite programmer or CEO. Business cant survive? Your fault for not being a business whiz with savant-level instincts on how to pivot and not only survive constantly changing regulatory environment, but make it worth-while.

Cringiest take we all here have ever heard. Liberals are just bad government runners.

No, you don’t understand. Literally nothing is ever their fault! We’re in a series of global crises for the last 11 years! But also the Liberals are the ones with the plan! Carney is a crisis man! Trust him with a crisis! But also it’s never his fault when things go wrong! But they are the ones to Meet the MomentTM and build Canada strong! But don’t blame them when they don’t! What don’t you understand??? Just have schiprhenic amnesia

Not a closet liberal. Just immune to tribalist bullshit that people fall for on Facebook and faceless content.

Continue worshiping your false idols. I’m a real conservative. Our party has fallen far from the Harper era. It’s embarrassing.

Going to be an unpopular opinion but I agree. Adapt to change.

its an unpopular opinion because its ignorant. They did try to pivot. Pivoting production is an expensive gamble and theres no guarantee it'll be succesfull. Doubly so because other products they pivoted to got banned as well, like their Ruger chasis.

Gambling on Conservatives winning an election so you can sell your weapon stock is my definition of ignorance. They lost. Now they’re holding onto “illegal” weapon stock they were banking on offloading, likely for big profits, when they become legal.

But like I said, it’s an unpopular opinion on this sub.

But they did try to adapt though, contrary to what you’re saying. Not that they even need to. They could have not tried and gone belly up sooner and it would still be the moronic Liberals’ fault that a productive well regarded Canadian manufacturer had to close its doors.

I’m glad, at least here, trying to pass another Liberal failure off on something else is rightly regarded as dumb.

Actually insane that someone on here can see the concerted effort from the Liberals to kill the culture and the industry and to blame the small business. Maybe you’re an entrepreneurial genius though and you’ve had your whole product lineup arbitrarily banned by a brain dead government and you persevered and know more than everyone though..
