Takes them private and then bam, one day just shuts them all down. You could buy the three biggest for $5 billion. Then he devotes another $30 billion to tie up means of production for any upstart manufacturers.

How long does this work? What market consequences?

Would be the greatest natural experiment on guns ever.

What do you mean tie up means of production?

All you need is machining tools and steel

All the private gun companies like Beretta will just sell more guns

Is he going to do this internationally?

This is such a dumb hypo

You try and buy beretta, you compete with them on supply parts and machine tools, just spending $30 billion to fuck with any manufacturers production.

Guns are too easy to make and there is no patent protection for the most popular models. Any guy with a CNC machine could make $$$$ making AR-15s and 1911s until new companies started to form.

Yeah, 3-D printing could make this futile in like six months. Would still be a lolzy way to set $40 billion on fire.

If you're willing to spend this kind of money, then I can cut down gun homicides for you much more easily. This wouldn't work at all.

I don’t think it would work for more than a year at best (in reducing gun deaths), but it would be funny.

Most gun designs are out of patent.

Euro gun companies roll in and open up factories within 3 months. Just need normal machining equipment.

Lots of former employees of us gun companies open up startups.

Would be back to normal in 5 years.

No need to move factories. They can just load up cargo containers with guns.
