Prices are high. But $15-$20 for 9mm is likely the new normal for awhile. The $8/box 9mm people are reminiscing (2019ish prices) about were decade low prices, in a booming economy, a republican president/house/senate. Gun/ammo market was so SATURATED that manufacturers were going out of business, or not selling to civilian markets. Things were THAT good!
Contrast that with the current/near future:
In a couple of months, ALL of that excess Trump supply has burned off. Prices have doubled, shortages are present. Ammunition manufacturers have started selling direct to the public-not at discount/wholesale prices mind you, but at brick and mortar prices (cut out the middleman, and increase profits). And the manufacturers are STILL showing out of stock. FFLs have stopped taking orders on in-demand guns because they can't get delivery dates.
If Trump wins, more riots. If any of the Floyd, Arbery, Taylor etc cases come back not guilty, more riots. Massive run on guns/ammo.
If the Dems win, massive run on guns and ammo in expectation of a ban.
There is no way this clears anytime soon.
