A friend of mine on another forum just posted this recently.
Just a quick word from a professional Firearms Class III Dealer, not for self or sales promotion
I you ever wanted or want to own an AR 15 for instance,, from most any maker, you should start looking and buy one now.The gun and ammo situation particularly on black guns and 223., 7.62x39, 45 acp ammo for instance is getting very very scarce and will be much more expensive.All of the 3 Major Wholesalers of mine have ZERO AR's of any flavor in inventory and have no idea when they will get more.I've never seen a buying frenzy like is happening now.Or ZERO Colts, among most other popular semi autos and long guns...None!
So my only purpose in posting this is a word to the wise: Buy what you want NOW.It will only become more of a scarcity and definitely much more expensive. Much worse than 2008, depending on the November election, naturally.
My spin on this, Have a $1000 to invest? A savings account might get 3%. An AR-15 nib? Just wait til 2013.
