For instance, they wouldn’t need to purchase the materials to make the guns, or maintain their equipment, or pay sales commissions, or advertise, - hell’s bells, they wouldn’t even have to keep the lights on. They’ve made $70 billion profit in paying for all these things, under the Borudian No Making Guns Scheme - their actual profit margin would go up.

If you're going to shutter them completely, those employees will need to find other work. Otherwise, the other expenses mentioned will still be extant.
Not under the Scheme, they wouldn’t. They would be kept on the payroll, and wouldn’t even need to show up at the plant. Still no net loss to profits.
