New York (CNN Business)Joe Biden's projected White House win could boost gun sales in what has already been a landmark year for gun makers.

"The election of a Democratic president who has promised to tighten gun control legislation could very well prompt increased demand for firearms," says Rommel Dionisio, managing director of Aegis Capital.

Biden has long been vocal on the issue of gun control. The former vice president has said gun manufacturers are "the enemy" of the Democratic party's gun control efforts. His campaign website calls for a ban on manufacturing and future sales of assault weapons like the AR-15, a position he has maintained since a string of high-profile mass shootings in 2019.

Dionisio says gun owners' fears of Democrats passing gun control legislation fuels a predictable surge in sales before and after elections.

1. Lol, cowards all n/t

[wcmagumba]

2. The idiots will have to enlarge their gun bunkers under the porch to make room...

[Aristus]

3. It's mystifying.

They hate the very government that gives them SSI, free cheese, and turns a blind eye to their meth labs.

4. Hey "Rommel",

they've already got all the guns they'll ever need.

No one is doing shit about guns in the next 2, 4, or 10 years; the goose is cooked. The NRA won. We all get to live in fear of the American Taliban deciding to launch an insurgency.

5. Don't the gun fetishists

still have a surplus of guns from their gun buying frenzy during the Obama administration

Pathetic

[Sneederbunk]

6. Obama still counting all the guns he seized.

7. Guns will have guns and man's best Friend too

[Statistical]

8. Didn't Obama already ban all the guns?

That was the talking point for 8 years. For fuck sake how many times does it take before they go "hey wait a minute last time they said they were going to ban all the guns and they never did".

[StClone]

10. The WHO!?

Obama! "They will get fooled again!" Cha Ching!

11. I don't get it. There are more guns in the US than anywhere

More than enough for every person in the US. And I’ll bet people that are buying guns now are not first time buyers. I just don’t understand why anyone needs multiple guns. I guess if you were really a hunter you might have 2 or 3 but many people could arm a small army...I guess that might be the point.

12. If you want to get people to buy something, threaten to ban it...

Joe Biden will enact legislation to once again ban assault weapons. This time, the bans will be designed based on lessons learned from the 1994 bans. For example, the ban on assault weapons will be designed to prevent manufacturers from circumventing the law by making minor changes that don’t limit the weapon’s lethality. While working to pass this legislation, Biden will also use his executive authority to ban the importation of assault weapons.

13. There really is no end to their fear

14. Gun store owners shouldn't hate the Democrats, they should be thanking them.

17. The funny thing is there are no guns left to buy.

The guns went faster than toilet paper in the Trump Administration. No Guns, No Ammo, No Lysol, no TP, no paper towels, no Clorox, no rubbing alcohol, no chicken, no meat......Jesus, Trump has turned us into an 80's era soviet bloc country...

15. When I turned 18, my Uncle, an Army Colonel gave me a rifle and a shotgun

That was over 10 presidential elections ago. Democratic Presidents Bill Clinton, nor Barak Obama took my guns away, Tip O'Neill, Jim Wright, Tom Foley, Nancy Pelosi as Speakers did not take my guns away. Senate leaders Byrd, Mitchell, Daschle and Reid did not take my guns away. There was some common sense gun legislation passed by come combinations of them, but sorry Republican fear mongers, no gun grabbing. Nearly 40 years later the same guns, plus a couple others that were given to me when my uncle passed away still sit locked up in a Liberty Safe that I bought in 1995. Prior to that they had master trigger locks on them but once my Uncle passed and there were 5 guns, the responsible thing to do was get a safe.

Again, no gun grabbing.......I don't get it.
