I am not begrudging them, but for a long time manufacturers and ammunition manufacturers were charging premium, albeit responsible, prices due to shortages. Trump was elected and now ammo shortages have evaporated and it is a buyers market.
This is all part of the business cycle. It is also why the ammo manufacturers consistently told us they did not want to expand production in fear of this day.
The tragic part of all this? The time will come again when gun and ammo manufacturers will be firmly back in the driver’s seat.
Plan accordingly.
When prices are low, add to your stockpile. Have enough to last you through eight years or more.
