BUT I WANT A NEW GUN NOW!!!!!!!

You'll still find good deals. We're nearing "Black Friday". I don't think the gun counters at places like Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops will be anywhere near as crowded as they have been in recent years. Take home pay has been dropping steadily since the Idiot In Chief took over, and I'm seeing really good prices with good availability on a lot of models that were considered "hard to get".

I'm getting those, "$20.00 off on your next purchase of $100.00 or more" cards from Cabela's almost weekly. They're offering even bigger discounts on firearms in their flyers. Lot's of good deals floating around out there, with a lot more better ones to come.

I don't see prices dropping in the near future.  I think that if we can keep a friendly political climate there will be a long term change to reasonableness.  However, the gun makers and ammunition makers have all changed their business models in recent years, and we are now going to be subject to the same business model that most other items live under:  The product and customer do not matter, because it is all about margins and return on investment for the investors.  This model will affect pricing, retailing, styling, and promoting.

It will also effect sales. It already has.

Time to go to Gun Shows and offer the scalpers 17 dollars for their 500 round brick of 22lr! The gun makers ramped up to meet demand and now have surplus inventory, thats why Ruger and Smith stock rose so high and now dropped to a three year low. I expect some great deals soon.

I wish I could say that I agree with all that's been said here but I don't think rat bastard is ready to lay down his guns just yet.
I don't know what it may be, and I don't think it's gonna target firearms as much as ammo, but I expect ammo to jump back up in the coming months, as a result of some administrative/regulatory BS from President Jug Head..
Also, the "leadership" in the GOP hasn't changed, and show no signs of being replaced. Boehner & McConnell have shown no sign of a spine to date. It's not like the AG is gonna step in and tell him no..
Hope you're all correct! I just don't think he's gonna go sit in the corner and pout about losing the Senate.. He obviously doesn't need it and he's got no more elections to win..
(I'm buying everything I can afford, asap..)
