The share quote or the order suspending?

The back orders, baby.

S&W and SIGArms are reportedly in a similar situation at this time.

Nice problem to have at this time

If the liberals are to be believed (again, IF), there must be a great deal of racist, old, white men "desperately clinging to guns and religion."
