I might suggest that you may not have been looking lately.....considering the current political climate in the US, there have been some MAJOR fire sales on AR & AK parts, certain reloading supplies, etc. from many online vendors. We probably have at least a two years window of goodness now til midterm elections. After that, depends on the elections. The Left is firmly planted in our Federal and some State govt's, and probably will be for some time, as conservatives seem unwilling to actually fight the good fight and go out on anti-protest marches, flood their rep's offices with emails, ph calls, etc. We're a little too much live and let live for our own good, really.
Point is, if you're looking for $2.00 22lr/50 bx and one cent primers, you need to find a time warp machine - inflation and time has passed you by. Although, I have seen some 22lr as low as $30/500 pc on quick online sales. I still have 8# kegs I bought in the Slick Willy era, and I've never regretted those purchases. People thought they were expensive and I was nuts then. Now they wanna buy em twenty-some yrs later for what I paid for em......apparently they are deniers of capitalism also.......LOL. I do think certain prices will drop more as people shoot less as the threat of the "GUBMINT" taking your rights away has subsided some in most peoples minds for now. You'll start to see surplus powders, etc. available again for retail sale.
Mr. Schumer, et al, have nothing to lose by proposing whatever wild schemes they can get publicity for as it builds their credibility with their base, keeps the focus on their beliefs to fundamentally change the country to an socialist oligarchy that they can control, and profit from, and gains them no more disdain from the current majority than they already have. They just cant let the attention fade away from themselves, or the control they do still have is lost. I just cant fathom the type of American citizens that would actually vote for these lunatics!??!?
FWIW
