The price of good self defense ammo only went up a little since 2020. It's the FMJ range stuff that went way up. I don't think we will see the days of .17 per round again. Raw materials have increased considerable and even with more production demand is so high with all the new gun owners.
This. I also don’t think that people viscerally or cognitively connect rampant inflation to the fact they can’t afford to buy things they could before. Thats what the democrats are counting on In all this. I feel pain, but I don’t understand where it’s coming from. Certainly, extremely high demand is a major factor in this as well, but the plan is to boil people slowly and they will just sit there. Like the old adage, you raise the heat on the frogs and they’ll sit there and boil to death. And they’ll keep voting to raise the heat.
