They're going to have to adapt if they want to survive, from a purely commercial POV. Whether they should is, of course, its own argument.

Stuffing the firearm genie back in the bottle is going to be quite a job. I think the tide has turned and it's only a matter of time, but it's going to be ugly. I'll be moving to Dublin (most likely) later this year and watching with interest.
