[QUOTE="10Seconds, post: 2090675, member: 24432"] Lets do math. If the manufacture's profit on a new glock is $10, and they sell 70,000 of them to NYC over 10 yrs, that is $70,000 per year they would lose. And Business Week estimated in 2011 that Glock makes a whopping 68% profit margin per pistol. At wholesale pricing, that would make that $10 in the example about more like $272, or a loss of $1.9 million per year. I think that the PR boost from the public to a manufacturer standing up to this oppression should be worth something too, but without knowing what Glock's overall sales are (as they are privately held) its hard to say if this would be a good trade in the business sense.
