No. Not even close. Federal has even dropped the pretense that it's all the market speculators (last panic they said it wasn't because of gov contracts and this time they admitted it's a part of it). Every ammo manufacturer is scared of investing in the NEW number of gun owners because they're scared the dems will pass their gun control and all of them will go bankrupt. I mean, you're not wrong that this is supply and demand but you're wrong that it's all it is. It's FAR from a supply and demand situation. And if you doub this, ask yourself why federal ISN'T building new plants to produce ammo this time (like they did last time). By the way, even with all the new infrastructure, ammo prices never fell below what they should have when the market went back to normal after the last panic. Production was almost doubled but there wasn't an excess of ammo on the market. Just something for you to consider.
I'll pass, sourpuss. You would have to trust some of what i'm telling you and you don't seem interested. Start here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5zNNk130V0 and watch his other video to hear it from the horse's mouth. Pay attention to the excess capacity he's referring to and apply some basic economics (hint: I'll give you an upvote if you correctly predict how elasticity will look under excess production) to ammo prices in 2019 and 2020 to see if my claim is accurate. If you want to have some more fun, track down the videos put out during the last panic. And if you make it that far, see what shop owners and people privy to industry presentations have to say (hint#2: guess why they're confident the ammo panic will last another 2 years).
