Oh, don't get me started. It is called Capitalism. People who don't understand supply and demand are easily tricked into Obama's populist pablum. Read a little more about economics.
On this topic...
At least ammo is on the shelves again. 2008/2009 was a whole lotta empty shelves! What bugs me is that so many firearms are just plain old unavailable anywhere. There isn't a single firearm (pistol, revolver, rifle, or shotgun) on my want list that doesn't seem to be "Out of Stock."

I was looking at a arsenal ak 6 mon ago at $850. The same one today at lgs $1200.00. That's plain ridiculous. I know the owners and it isn't them getting rich.

The first election cycle, ammo and primers were hard for me to get. I also wanted a Weatherby Vanguard but found the Howa bolt action 30-06 was $150 bucks cheaper and available.
But this election cycle, (in 2 different gun shops,) there were piles of inexpensive ammo. Every gun store was well stocked with reasonably priced reloading components.

I had that same problem this election cycle, I wanted a Ruger 1911, I couldn't get it. I ended-up buying the 4th 1911 on my list, a beautiful Remington for $650.
I think maybe Ruger and some others didn't have , (enough,) foresight.

I just think every firearm maker is maxing output and it just isn't meeting the huge demand. Increasingly, people are feeling a sense of impending doom that is causing people to buy firearms. Much like a fever that can only be cured with more COWBELL!!
But in this case it is more COLTSPRINGFIELDGLOCKSMITHWESSONRUGERBERETTAKIMBER

In 1890 you could buy a single action army for a $20 gold coin. Today, you still can!
