The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) recently released it’s 2014 Firearms and Ammunition Industry Economic Impact Report detailing how the Gun Industry affects local and national economies.

From 2008 to 2014, the industry has increased it’s workforce 78%. These workers have an average annual salary of $52,000, which means direct wages nearing 6 billion.
