The election results from the 04-NOV-14 election is indicating that the country's politics are moving to the right.  During the various campaigns, the successful anti-gunners stayed away from their gun control bleating to pick up votes by deceit.  I am thinking that all together this will take pressure off the 2nd Amendment and that gun prices will drop from here. 

Side comment.  22 LR ammo is starting to hit the shelves and become available.  I think those prices will fall soon.  The old prices for a brick were 3 to 4 cents per 500 for budget 22LR.  I think the new normal will be 4 to 5 cents and that we'll begin to see those prices emerging after January 1.  Whaddya' think?

PS  You won't catch me with less than 25k rounds on hand ever again.

My favorite little gun shop has .22 available in quantity for the first time in a long time.  Still no .22 WMR.

Prices are still higher than I'd like to see, but it's gratifying to see product on the shelves.

Just because we beat the anti's at the Federal level means nothing.
As Washington state shows we still have to fight at the state and local level.

So very true.  It's too early to start celebrating.  There's a lot of work to do and we are no where near getting out of the woods yet.

I don't know if politics has really shifted to the right. Even libtards can apparently see their paycheck shrinking down and the Dumbocrats not being able to do ANYTHING right.

IMHO the gun prices dropping are due to market saturation and less disposable income.
Wait till the Obammyscare bills start coming due and people realize how badly they are going to get screwed these coming 2 years. Less money in their pockets, they already bought a gun, (maybe two!) and feel "protected". 

Brain Damaged Barbie and Astronaut Ken aren't going away....unfortunately. Washington was a huge win for them and they'll beat that drum till the cows come home.

Hi;

     IMHO , Gun and Ammo prices will take some time to drop. We still have several months of Liberals in control and they will try to pass anything and everything in that time frame.

     Barry and his cronnies will still be around for 2 more years and they will not concede and compromise. They will do more behind the back type measures.

     To think that Republicans will do anything worthwhile for the next 6 months is debateable.

     I agree with Rastus, Time is coming to restock and resupply - perhaps starting mid to end or 2015.

Supply is increasing and demand is dropping. This will continue. Gun people have been running with a brick on the panic button on and off since 2008. They're out of fear, and out of money. Most feel if nothing happened after Newtown, (not even increased background checks), even less will happen in the next 2 years. Gun owners have never been so "stocked up".

It's much the same for Silver. All of these "Survivalists" have been buying this stuff in the high $20 to low $30 range for the last couple of years like it was going out of style, thinking it was well on it's way to $200 an ounce when the "big collapse" hit, after Q.E. was instituted. Turns out the dollar has never been stronger and the crap is falling through the floor. (What's in your safe?). It's dropped into the high $15 range, headed lower. Most have lost .50 cents on the dollar, or more.

 They can stack their $28 Silver right next to their $40 P-Mags that were going to new heights. They'll have to move their $175 stripped lowers to the bottom shelf to make room for all of these "valuables". Take some money out of the mattresses because you're going to be coming across some real deals in firearms, ammo, and related equipment in the upcoming months. Especially after the Christmas holidays, and next spring when the Fall hunting madness ends, and the Fudd's head to Nevada Bob's for new golf shoes.

I tend to agree with this assessment, Bill.

Those that sat on their money and have been patient.....not falling into the "panic trap"....will be in a happy happy happy place, I think.

This was my "hunch".   

My nephew was asking when to buy another gun and I told him it might be a good idea to wait 4 to 6 months to see what prices do.

I enjoyed your explanation better though.
