    Oldest US Gun-maker Remington, files for bankruptcy

    0
    By Magic 103.7 on March 26, 2018 News

    The oldest gun manufacturer in the US, Remington Outdoor, has filed for bankruptcy in the wake of slumping sales.

    The firm, founded more than 200 years ago, filed for bankruptcy protection to cut a deal with its creditors.

    Remington’s chief financial officer said the company’s sales dropped significantly in the year before its bankruptcy, court papers show.

    The filing comes amid fresh demands for greater gun control in the US.

    A shooting at a Florida high school in February has revived the debate on gun control, and on Saturday hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets of US cities.

    Some US retailers have raised the age limit for certain firearms purchases to 21 or stopped stocking semi-automatic weapons.

    The FBI processed a record number of background checks on gun purchases during the election year in 2016, but the rate of background checks plunged following Mr Trump’s election.

    Analysts say more Americans were buying guns two years ago because they feared a possible Hillary Clinton presidency could usher in gun control policies.

    It is thought that gun sales slowed after Mr Trump took office because firearms enthusiasts generally do not fear a Republican president will try to deprive them of their constitutional right to bear arms.

    Remington, best known for its rifles and shotguns, was founded in 1816.
