STURM RUGER: Demand for guns exploded this summer likely because of election rhetoric (RGR)

Sturm, Ruger & Co. on Tuesday reported third-quarter earnings and said there was "stronger-than-normal" demand for guns this summer, which was likely boosted by election campaigning.
The gunmaker said net sales rose 34% year-on-year to $161.4 million, and it earned $1.03 in adjusted earnings per share.
These results come one week before a presidential election in which gun control is one of the most contentious issues. Hillary Clinton wants to reinstate the assault-weapons ban foll
