I don’t particularly think we will see an increase or if we do it may be minor and short lived. Remember what drives the price, supply and demand. The market is so saturated at the moment that even if there is a short lived panic I don’t think it’ll leave a mark. What with the weak ass showing on the side of the Democrats this election, most gun owners and potential AR and AK buyers likely feel confident that Trump will win another term and we are good for another 4 years.
2024. That’s likely when we will see another nationwide buying spree. Until then the panic will be limited to the states that completely wreck the second amendment.
That’s my $.02
If I really needed anything at the moment I’d buy it, but the instant I saw prices take any upward turn I’d tuck my money away for a few months til after the election. This will likely be the mildest hit on prices that we have seen in over a decade if they trend upward at all.
