Heh. Shocking.

In other news, bottled water and generator sales dropped off after hurricane season.


Thanks for posting. The charts are mind boggling.

It's because we're saving for the day that suppressors can be bought without a bunch of paperwork, $200, and waiting FOREVER for something that could be done in five minutes or less.
I'm gonna buy a whole box of them.

After 8 years of selling with fear as the prime motivator, people are taking their time now that the Obungo is out. We need to see some serious consolidation in this industry and some going out of business. Too many selling the same stuff. On the flip side, we will see continued price drops across the board.

Funny how the suppressor industry put all of its eggs behind the hearing protection act and all of a sudden they realized no one was buying anymore...with the thinking that prices will drop once the Act is passed. The cost of suppressors is ridiculous to begin with...this industry will see the most change by the time the Hearing Act is passed. Suppressors should be around a few hundred bucks, not the greed driven prices they are at now.

Here’s an article about the sound suppressor industry anticipating layoffs and offering price incentives because of a sales slump in suppressors brought on by potential buyers not wanting to buy at the moment as they are waiting for suppressors to be removed from the NFA act.

Here’s another article about if or when suppressors are removed from the NFA act a buy surge is going to take place resulting in a shortage. Just like we saw after Sandy Hook with ammo, a lot of people will buy multiple cans and sell them on gun broker at inflated costs.

So if one is thinking the price of cans will drop after the law is passed, that might take a while until industry catches up with demand.

I can see the left struggling to stick those loss of jobs on Trump while burying what the jobs were.

Sounds like I will have to get some "Trump" firearms to go with my "Obama" ones. But this time the prices will be dropping and the sales will start soon.
