The bogging down of the economy is likely having an effect, as people cut back on elective purchases and individual debt is piling up.

I suspect that's the primary reason.

Any sensible person has what they need, by now.

Ammo prices are not too bad right now, but will probably be going up.

Ammo is cheap enough now that adult son and I can shoot off a couple hundred rounds of 9mm & 5.56 at the range without going into debt.

How long will cheap ammo last?

My interest in odd calibers is biting me in the butt. 16 gauge, .300 Savage, .38 Super, .44 Special, .32-20, and .410 skeet ammo.

We are blessed, my wife and I are both good cooks. We have a great independent grocery store about 10 miles away (on little traffic highway). We can turn basic stuff into good meals.

A lot of beef is raised around here. The local grocery store has a great meet marked, actually cuts it in store.

God Bless Texas (my family has been in Texas since the Republic of Texas).

Ballistic products in MN has fair amount of 16 gauge components. Powder Valley in KS, recently had some 16 gauge shotgun shells, seems like I remember some at Midsouth Shooters Supply. I have a model 12 Winchester 16 gauge pump with 2-1/2” chamber. Think it was made in 1924. So I have to reload it.

If you reload ammo the other cartridges can be found or reloaded. I frequent 5 different distributors that are reputable. 300 Savage brass is the only component that is hard to find on your list. I think I have a couple of rounds of brass that I got from once fired source in my order for .308 brass. If you reload 300 Savage, will be glad to mail them to you.

Yes. And it will go up over time.

Fixed payments of mortgaged property during inflation will go down if wages go up with income increase due to inflation.

Worst possible? Prices of homes collapse due to inability to pay mortgages and insurance. That is the plan to confiscate all property.

The Great Evil Reset?

Gun sales slowing.

Ammo sales strong.

Which one doesn't require a background check except in New York, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey?

The ATF has been databasing everybody these days.

None than the ones you listed.

Where I live, if you could afford it and had a place to store it, a 53’ trailer could be backed into your driveway and they can unload pallets of ammo in your driveway.
