People said the same thing after Sandy Hook but then we were buying 9mm for like $8 a box. Prices will come down unless Sniffy and Kneepads interfere, which they might.more taxes and the manufacture of ammo and the sale of ammo is most likely coming. Not to mention that we'll probably see some manufacturers leave once they start to get sued more often.
I don't think we're at the peak of ammo prices, but I also don't think we'll forever set at these high prices. I think we'll come down a bit, but never get back to under .20 cpr for 9mm.
Hang Ten!I'll be priced out of the market soon. Back to surfing porn.

Yup, way different than Sandy Hook.This isn't Sandy Hook.

Plus, 3 million new shootersIt's really not that different. In both cases there's rush panic buying due to a risk of new legislature. Last time there didn't end up being any new legislature, this time we'll see. Last time manufacturers ramped up production, this time they will too.
You can’t forget the elephant in the room kalash. The world economy is on a precipice and the dollar on its last days.It's really not that different.

At this point you're talking about general inflation because the feds keep on printing money, not high ammo prices specifically. I bet back in 1980 9mm was like 2cpr but that's hardly relevant.You can’t forget the elephant in the room kalash. The world economy is on a precipice and the dollar on its last days.

I think the NSSF or someone said 7. I bet it will be 10 million by the end of 2021.
Your town can see your land and your cottage. Unless they have auditors walking thorough opening drawers, they're not going to have any idea how much you have.The town my cottage is in charges us taxes on the estimated value of the contents. Including firearms and ammo in that estimate wouldn't be too difficult and could be done at the town level.
You my friend understand that the “petro” dollar is on its last breath and the rest of the world is pining for the removal of that peg.Once Oil gets traded by the barrel on something other than the U.S. Dollar, it's all over folks!

Lol production is already maxed out. And this is much larger than all the obamascares and sandy hook garbage, combined. If you spend some time on the ground at gun retail, you will understand quickly this is not a simple "obamascare redux". Gun shops are literally getting hundreds of calls on busier days asking for ammo.
Plus theres a shitload of new buyers, and even if only 10% of them stick around after a year or two, thats going to contribute greatly to things like sticky price effects,
etc.,
Of course it is, just like it was in 2014. Back then manufacturers responded by hiring more people, buying more equipment, etc. They ramped back down after Trump won. Now they have to ramp back up again, which takes time.Lol production is already maxed out.
And now that cocaine Mitch blinked, Xiden will be unfettered except for a judicial branch that has been well known to punt on any 2A legislation.Plus raw material shortages, shipping problems, etc. This problem is much much deeper than anything we've seen before.
I think you will see Xiden try to XO his way to gun control in ways that King Hussein only dreamed.
Yeah, but now elections don’t matter. They can do what they want with no consequences.It's really not that different. In both cases there's rush panic buying due to a risk of new legislature.

After shortages like this, the tend is for things to eventually settle into a "new normal". As each step in the chain lowers prices to maintain market share, they do so carefully and the frequent effect is that the vendors stop at the point where they have approximately their previous market share - which tends to be a non-trivial number of points higher than the old prices.Too much fear-mongering in here. It's basic supply and demand - ammo manufacturers can't keep up with the demand, which is being driven by uncertainty (that's how it works in all markets). As manufacturers ramp up to meet the demand, prices will fall back to normal - we've already been through this more than once. The only thing that can affect that really is an ammo sales tax but it would have to be stupid high, like 100%, to make current rapey prices the "new normal".
Good excuse to go buy a 10mm...Now ifyou’re still looking for pistol ammo, it’s still available for decent prices (except for 45acp which @cathouse01 stole).
