The government out spends the public. Dont expect gun lobbies to side with the people - they know where their bread is buttered.

In specifically small arms, I’m not so sure. I’d bet that the American public buys enough firearms every year to arm every American soldier two or three times over. Ruger and PSA aren’t competing with Raytheon and L3Harris.

Yeah, “gun lobby” isn’t the same as “military industrial complex”…

They have two very different objectives and surprisingly little overlap.

Most of the small arms the military buys, they buy so much it eats up the whole product line, and is based on contracts that go decades between reissue.
