Mike, eat Snickers.
That's what I used to say (sometimes) to all of those idiots who think that prices can only go up.
I fully expect sales to taper off, if not fall off a freaking cliff, in the next few months.
People haven't just been buying for the last 8 years, many people have been going out of their flipping minds buying stuff. A large driver was the constant threat that there was going to be new and draconian anti-gun legislation.
With that threat removed, at least for now, people aren't going to feel the pressure/need to buy something that might very well be targeted tomorrow.
This crap is cyclical. It happened under Carter, it happened under Clinton, and it happened in a very huge way under Obama.
In each of those cases, the spikes in sales were followed by a leveling off, if not an outright drop, when relatively gun friendly presidents took office.
There was one exception, though... post 1986 FOPA. Sales of surplus firearms and ammunition grew explosively for a number of years as people bought high-quality, low price foreign surplus that had been shut out of the US market for years.
In 1992 I bought two as new unissued Chinese SKS rifles for $60 a piece, and 2 cases of ammo for about $55 each.
