Hunting may be a popular activity in Michigan, but when it comes to states that are most dependent on the gun industry, it isn't one of them.
Prompted by increased conversation regarding gun control and reform, the personal finance website Wallethub recently conducted a study analyzing the economic impact of guns on each of the 50 states.
Michigan finished 40th overall, meaning its in the bottom 10 when it comes to reliance on firearms.
In general, the firearm industry is big business. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, guns contributed more than $51 billion to the U.S. economy and generated over $6.5 billion in federal and state taxes in 2017.

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
