Election year. To be expected. If trump looses it will get worse imo. All the gun folks will panic buy everything already infatuated

+ the pandemic/protests, etc... All of it leading up to "time to hoard again". You are correct. For 8 years prices were artificially high, and certain rnds tough to come by under Obama in preparation for the impending ban/confiscation/limiting/grab. It'll be the same thing under Biden. A never ending threat signaling the need to stack up. I will forever kick myself for not buying 10,000 rounds of everything I need 2 years ago. It'll be a decade, if ever, before prices get that low again. At least all these threats have panned out so it all makes sense when I pay $600 for my next 1k rnds of .223. Makes a day of shooting steel super fun when I realize it cost me $250.
