... If you're a red-blooded, burger-chompin', freedom-lovin' American, you gotta check out Donald Trump Junior's innovative new company, GrabAGun.

Calling itself "the Amazon of Guns," GrabAGun is revolutionizing the way Americans hoard firearms, offering shoppers a virtual arsenal of pistols, shotguns, rifles, and muzzleloaders shipped straight to their front door.

Though there are nearly 78,000 brick and mortar gun dealers in the US " more than the number of McDonald's, Burger Kings, Subways, and Wendy's stores combined -- GrabAGun is entirely online. That's pretty hip! ...

OK, I just looked at the stock price chart on Yahoo ( here: finance.yahoo.com , click on 5D to see this past week's activity )

To my eyes, it looks like the IPO price was set too high.

Opening the IPO at $18.00 on Monday, and finishing the week at $10.01 at the end of trading on Friday.

Wait, let me check the after-hour trading for Friday ...

OK, as of 6:20 EDT, there was an increase in price, all the way up to $10.04.

... shipped straight to their front door.

What passes for journalism these days is sad. Online purchases cannot be shipped to the purchaser. The purchase must be shipped to a FFL who will conduct the standard background check prior to the transfer. If this writer had taken the time to go to the seller's website he would not have misled ignorant readers. grabagun.com

@#3 ... What passes for journalism these days is sad. ...

Yeah I would not even attempt to try to credit that particular website with the level of journalism I ascribe to others sites, aside from the crash 'n' burn of the IPO. In that area, it seems to be spot on, and that's why I cited it.

To back up your comment...

From the GrabAGun website home page ...
grabagun.com

... Whether you're shopping for a 9mm pistol, .308 hunting rifle, or bulk ammo, we offer fast shipping to your local FFL and unbeatable customer service. ...

That aside, why might have the IPO stock price plunge by almost 50%?

Speaking of flopping, how's President Pedo's venous insufficiency coming along?
