I think that is going to take awhile.
There have been 65,376,373 background checks completed for Americans purchasing firearms since February of 2009, the first full month of Barack Obama's presidency.

Supply & demand is a concept, it does not mean your REQUIRED to gouge people. That is still a choice.

Old Cop had it right. Supply and demand. I believe there will be a saturation point when production and demand reverse. It will happen just as sudden as it started. One day the people that are buying will have enough and stop. Then the increased production will soon fill the stores and warehouses and drive the prices back to a reasonable rate. I never bought any high priced items. I have my larder filled and have for some time. But then again I am an old guy.

I hope so. I am one that buys when stuff goes on sale whether i need it or not. So as far as ammo i am more than set.
I bought a S&W M&P 15-22 a few months ago and it came with the 25 round magazine. I wanted a few of the 10 round small ones for bench shooting.
Who would have thought that they are in that high demand????
Its crazy.
What I have for my other weapons I am glad i bought 20 years ago with the weapons. What they are selling for now is just crazy.

You have to remember some of us "old timers" have been doing this a long time and have been through a few rough times in the past 30-40-50 years. We have a tendency to stock heavy when times are good and just ride out the hard times like now.

Lgs in my area was loading up shelves with bricks of. 22 today. I was in and out picking up a gun from a GB deal and didn't get the price on the. 22's. I'll check it out tomorrow. At least shelves are being stocked!

I wouldn't ever deal with CTD for what they did in '08, I'd like to tell them what to do with that Colt but you know, some idiot will probably pay it so..........................

Very true. I was poking around and came across a board that was like Craig's List but for weapons etc.
Local guy had a picture of a table full of S&W .22lr magazines. I would guess around 40 of them. All different sizes, all still in the original packaging.
No prices, i called just out of curiosity.
$80 for the 10 round mini's
$120 for the 25 round ones.
and he said they will be gone by the end of the week.
just crazy.
It's not a concept, it's a law.
And you are not REQUIRED to buy guns/mags/ammo either.
This stuff isn't a necessity. Food, fuel, yes.

And the gouging laws do not apply to guns and ammo. Additionally, gouging laws only apply during declared disasters.
Any other time, it's all the traffic will bear.
