If you’ve been on the fence about buying a firearm, especially if it’s because you’re financially constrained, please consider this a heads up:

I have seen in multiple newsletters and as banners on a few gun websites that price increases are coming. Usually this is to be expected going into an election year, as panic buying from chuds drives shortages and price increases. But I haven’t seen it broadcast so explicitly before. Prices are definitely lower than they’ve been in two or three years, and I’m sure this is as low as guns and ammo will go. That said, I can’t help but wonder if this is an attempt to further clear out old inventory, or otherwise drive sales. They may end up just making the panic buying worse.

All of that said, now is as good a time as any to stack deep on ammo and magazines, or to buy that first firearm.
