First real panic, how does it end?

A manufacturer isn't going to take on additional debt or spend reserves to increase production capability due to the current situation. They'll keep pumping them out and selling them as fast as they can. At some point inventory will catch up to demand. Best guess would be 18-months, regardless of who wins in November. However, if Biden wins and starts enacting new anti-gun laws then we may see demand stay high for a while.

Meh
A lot of people will have tons of ammo they'll never shoot.
A bunch of people will be pissed that they spent twice or more for guns that are now back at normal prices.

Yep

I don't think prices will ever come back down to pre-Chicom party virus days.
Even after the political situation has settled down ( if it does ),
inflation and on going raw material shortages will help to keep prices higher than before. You can't keep spending ( or printing ) money you don't have without consequences.

If Trump is elected things will be back to normal by June until 2024.

If Trump looses, things will be INSANE. Like $2000 Glocks, up until it's the end if the party in CA and you can only buy guns illegally out of the back of a van.

It is going to get much worse before it gets better. It is likely to get MUCH worse.

Nope, when the price of gold goes up against the dollar, that either means the price of gold is actually going up or the value of the dollar is dropping. If the govt wasn't handing out money that it doesn't have left and right, I would say the value of gold has gone up, but in this case, I think its pretty safe to say the value of the dollar is going down.
