Sports and recreation product manufacturer Vista Outdoor is considering selling its brand of shotguns, which includes AK-15-style rifles, the company announced Tuesday, according to CNN.
Why it matters: Vista's stock price dropped 15% following the announcement. This comes as the gun industry struggles in the Trump era, largely due to a slew of mass shootings since the president took office.
