Expect supplies of guns and ammo to get very tight
If you are thinking about purchasing a gun then sooner is likely to be better than later. If you have less than a year’s supply of ammo, now is a good time to stock up.
About this time in 2008 sales of guns and ammo started rising and accelerated rapidly after President Obama was elected. By December there were serious shortages of all popular calibers of ammo Prices rose rapidly and by February 2009 shelves were usually empty, and largely stayed that way for over a year. When a Walmart store got a new shipment they rationed purchases to 3 or 4 boxes to prevent one person from taking the entire shipment and reselling it at a much higher price. Some calibers, like .380, were not available in any stores, or even online, for nearly a year. Some guns, especially rifles like ARs and AKs, followed a similar pattern.
This was driven by increased demand because people feared Obama’s anti-gun record. Unofficially, he was known as the gun salesman of the year, and it took a good two years for supplies to catch up. I don’t want to argue politics here, but this was a clearly observable phenomenon. Current chatter is that if he wins a second term he will feel free to pursue anti-gun policies. I'm not saying that is correct, but it is a common perception. So another shortage is likely as the presidential race heats up, especially if Obama wins.
