WASHINGTON — Gun manufacturing companies came to Connecticut expecting a surge in gun sales after the Sandy Hook massacre, but they might not stay for long under a gun-friendly Republican president. Gun manufacturing companies rose in Connecticut from 15 in 2012 to at least 22 in 2016 - a roughly 46 percent increase — according to data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. But the number of Connecticut’s manufactured rifles, handguns, shotguns and revolvers actually dipped within the same time frame, with handguns taking the largest fall. In anticipation of higher gun sales after heightened safety concerns followed the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, more gun manufacturers came to the state, according to ATF data.
