If it is the largest retailer, then it must be Cabela's/Bass Pro. They have changed the nature of all firearm sales since they are the biggest in the U.S. All of the small dealers can't buy wholesale for what Cabela's/Bass Pro sell retail.

The promoter owns the chain of gun stores in Florida called Shoot Straight. Several locations around the state, he's done very well for himself in the firearm business.

I don't know about the largest in the country, but I did hear at Blade 2 years ago that at that time he was selling approx. 17% of the Smith & Wesson's sold in this country. That's got to be a LOT of guns.

I'll still hold to my statement from earlier, I believe it's all driven by GREED.. JMO
