I stopped by a local shop the other day ... actually a "farm & fleet" kinda place but has a whole corner for gun cases. No ammo at all but I was shocked by the number of guns they had. Lot's of long guns hangin' on the wall and the handgun cases were full of all kinds of stuff. But then this is "gun land". But how do you move a lot of guns with no ammo?
You don't. The two local gun shops near me both have close to a normal number of guns in their inventory. Both told me they aren't selling them as fast because they have nothing to feed them with. It's like trying to sell a gas-guzzling SUV or muscle car during an oil embargo.
I've had a funny feeling that might be true as well and have had to make a few compromises as well.
Yes sir...it's mos-def a seller's market right now. Unfortunately I had already thinned-down my collection (at pre-panic prices) to only my highly-desirables. In fact, I only have ONE sub-$1000 pistol left, so I'm too attached to part with anything in my current stable (save an genuine emergency). And, fortunately, what I'm buying is not being marked-up because its higher-end to begin with.but have you seen the prices on gunbroker and in the LGS?!??!?!?!
Every party needs a pooper, thats why we invited you. Party pooper....that's you!! 😉3. Poles are for strippers
If the laws ever become so strict that so-called "hi-cap" guns (whatever those are) are flat-out prohibited then you can bet that an across-the board ban on nearly all modern firearms will follow soon afterwards. In other words, either the Gunpocalypse is coming or else you should simply buy what you want now and quit worrying about it. I certainly don't worry about anything I own becoming verboten to even possess someday. I bought them all legally, I own and use them legally, and if anybody doesn't like it they can go screw themselves.
Well you'll just get on the trains when told to do so, too.
. I am going to pick up a TX22 Taurus today in hopes that it is something that my wife can handle. If not, I can make good use of it as well.The only disaster was the decriminalization of drug usage which expanded use to epidemic proportions. Now we have the worst of all worlds, drug addicts all over the place and property crime sky high and tons of homeless drug addicts. The best thing that would improve the quality of life in America would be to keep them locked up for a long time.
I think a lot of 'new' buyers barely know how to load and operate the guns they are buying.
I’ve been following prices of 3 handgun calibers for 9 months now on ammoseek. I am seeing prices starting to soften. From roughly 1 dollar per round to 60-75 cents. I also watched an interesting video re ammo sales on gun broker. The host has been tracking these auctions and noted the amount of bids for ammo has dropped dramatically. I think we are turning the corner on prices. It will be quite a bit of time before prices on 9mm every go back to 18 cents a round but you can see prices beginning to soften imho.
