Remington (OC) filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year (don't worry, they should survive just fine) but for the most part what is good for the back pocket is the anxiety and distress of the actual gun owner (or lover as you call them).
I.e. the reason for folks stocking up on ammunition and what not, is that a President leery of the second amendment might try and put wholesale bans in place.
That gives most gun owners strife for no reason. (Especially when it never goes anywhere). That causes a run on everything, boosting the profits for gun stores and the demand is higher so it causes manufacturers to produce more.
When there is calm over the issue (like with Trump and Bush being President) the peace of mind for the general gun owning population can sometimes come at the expense of manufacturers back pockets.
The two usually are an equidistant paradox of one another.
