Tell me the salaries of the top executives of Ruger, Glock, Smith & 
Wesson, Colt, etc. I suspect most would say the figures qualify as 
"riches."

I claimed more gun sales generate more profits for the manufacturers. Is 
that not true?

If there were enough shareholder losses, perhaps there would be hope. 
But again, it seems likely that it's partially a business strategy to 
lobby for even looser gun laws, so even more guns will be sold. True or 
not, the number of guns in U.S. circulation is insane and rising. See
