Considering the past 13 years: we’ve seen panic on a scale equal to that endured under the Clinton Administration, some of you may not relate. At that time, I was not old enough to purchase a handgun and my only recourse would have been to hoard standard capacity magazines that were banned from future production. Would have got me nowhere as those bans sunset.
Back to the current “13 year” trend: panic ensued, sales soared, people bought all they could after talking about it too long, and shelves went bare. Production ramped up, bans didn’t happen, shelves filled, prices dropped to previous levels (and lower in many cases), people bought again.
If you don’t strike when the time is right you’ll never get there. Knowing what to buy and when is an essential component of any retail transaction from real estate to automobiles.
If ammo is priced too high, buy all the firearms priced cheaply from those who give up the chase. WHEN ammo prices fall AND availability increases, stock up to levels you should have. Plenty of us have survived decades of this in the shooting community and continue to enjoy our hobby without real bother. We are simply waiting for the next opportunity to stock up.
