Now that Kash is over the ATF too…

With no threat to the second amendment…guns and ammo prices are going to crater! Good for the youngins, bad for us older folks that bought a bunch, especially diring the great ammo shortages.

Ain’t bought ammo since just before Fuochi tried to kill us all. Bought a bunch of black powder last week. Might start acquiring again if we can get 30-06 below a dollar again. Need to buy some modern powder and primers.

So you bought a bunch with the intention of reselling at a profit?

No sir! However, they are a great investment and increase in value. My guns and ammo will be inherited by my kids when I am gone.

The problem is it's not being made fast enough, yeah, thought provoking statement, but it's true. Too many shuttered those plants. We need about 12 good years like we had with Reagan and Bush Sr., the war didn't help Bush at all. Old Bill took advantage.

The unrest bringing with it all the new gun owners in 20-21, all the binge buying of ammo ---- Yep, all the people fussing about toilet paper, paper towels, clorox, doggone if hunters and gun owners weren't doing it with ammo and reloading equipment too. Reloaders buying every primer or X brand of powder they could find on a shelf, or just 2-3 people buying whole pallets of ammo as it came off the truck. Ammo makers see this, hey wait, we need this stuff for ourselves and our own ammo manufacturing, "sell to us first." Then, last year, we're sending all that over to Ukraine. Anyone seeing this picture?

Still haven’t understood exactly what those plants were shuttered prior to others being built.

Right now my favorite 9mm is 124gr BPS ammo and I’ll buy it every time I see it on sale. Good shootem up stuff

Thankfully I had more 9mm ammo than I'll ever shoot and plenty of 22/7-mag in the safe as well when the prices jumped...

I struggle to imagine that companies are still "behind in production". They have seen we will pay and aren't interested in making it cheaper. Any chemist that starts making primer mix into anvils for $25.00 per thousand put a sure enough bad hurting on the big dogs and have a large stack of $100.00 bills to sleep on. We're Americans we're supposed to innovate.

Unfortunately, with inflation and the high prices of material and labor, ammo and guns prices will not decrease!
