I dont know if it's affecting gun prices, but around here, it's difficult to get ammo for even things like 38 special for decent prices, if at all. All the walmarts around me have been completely out of regular jacketed ammo in 38 spc (winchester white box or remington) for quite some time. So forced to buy inflated gun store ammo prices or deal with online. It's not as bad as the 9mm shortage of a couple years ago, but it's frustrating.
