Ammo is still scarce; I've seen 9mm FMJ priced at $1/rd, usually around 0.20/rd.

Local gunshop said orders are 18 months out for all calibers, because many manufacturers are expecting a blue wave

I bought a useless .380 bodyguard last month. It’s useless as I haven’t been able to get ammo.

“Sales then were driven by fears of gun control fueled by mass shootings, but those fears evaporated with the election of President Trump, a Republican endorsed by the National Rifle Association. Gun sales plunged immediately after his election...”
Now, that’s ironic. But if gun control is voluntary, not mandatory, that spoils all the fun.

Sales then were driven by fears of gun control fueled by the prospect of Hillary and the Democrats enacting it if elected.

Yep, I’ve heard from several in the industry that they don’t want to over produce.

A comment to American ammo companies VSTO/OLN. If you don’t make it and put it on the shelves someone will buy something else.

.380 was the last caliber to come back last time, the manufacturers use the same machines to make 9mm and won’t stop until they have filled all of the orders.
They usually run 10 months of 9mm and switch to .380 for two months.

Exactly.

Plunged? I know that prices came down, and I thought that fueled more buying.

"...arms makers aim not to get burned again..."
Were I the owner of an ammunition company, my factory would have an additional shift added and be running 24 x 7 x 365 to capitalize on immediate market demand.
I will bet that the CEOs of firms that manufacture toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes did not embrace such a plan during the height if the Wuhan Virus spread a few months ago.

Im taking nothing for granted because I think this election outcome will be different even if Trump wins.
I think the left will pull out all the stops, figuring they have nothing left to lose.
And if Trump is cheated out of office, we are royally screwed. At that point, I hope they ramp up ammo production like never before because once Jan 21 rolls around all bets are off for sure..

i went to Natchez and they’re out of everything. I went to my local guy and he’s out of 9mm and .45. Limited amounts of .22.

Over produce by 50%. It will be bought. The cost of money is almost Zero.
