Segment from CNBC:
/p>
1:08 – Lucas Botkin from TREX. I heard him talk about this appearance on his Art & War podcast episode recently. I’ve listened to a few episodes now, including the one with the homie Print Shoot Repeat. Good gun industry pod, if you’re looking for one.
5:05 – The gun industry in America is a $36 billion business
5:12 – US firearm manufacturers produced 11.1 million guns in 2020 ?, up from 5.4 million in 2015
8:03 – The narrator mentions that one of the cases against firearm marketing is the “potential exposure to children, or those under the age of 18”. Video games and movies do that better than any firearms company could ever want to or hope to directly through their own ads.
9:25 – The Apple revolver to watergun emoji change was so lame. People use it for the exact same purpose.
Thoughts?
