will $ for 2a participation ever go down?

[high_revs]

crap... might have been cheaper i go golfing if looking at hourly rate.

2 rounds trap shooting including range fee $50
90 mins of ar15 and 9mm outing (acquaintances seem to just want a "feel" hence only 90 mins vs me, i'll go longer) $64 . 40 .223 shots. 19 9mm shots

we've been slowly getting priced out. i know many who don't go out conserving their ammo. even if trump gets re-elected or republicans take it back, will it ever go back down? i don't recall ammo going back down en masse.

yeah yeah i know. where have i been. usually in trapshooting. i shot fast and maybe a call girl would be cheaper at the hourly rate! done in 5 mins each round of trap. if there was a 1 min man in trap shooting, that'd be me.

Might be cheaper and more fun to get a few friends or a machine to toss out at some BLM land in the long run.

range fees probably won't go back down, but ammo will....eventually.

hope so.. i've never seen it gone down from my tracking of costs. hopefully where i missed seeing it go down is when i saved enough. but say for .22LR, i got stuff when it was .02c/rd compared to the .10c now. last i bought was .06c per.

free states may not have it as easy too even w/o the ammo ffl overhead charge.

You can thank Unions and the Dem/Libs that Californians elect time and time again.

If they can't outlaw guns, they will price you out of the sport.

No. And before this NeoSocialist Administration is done, maybe even before they lose their near numbers advantage next year in the 2022 election, we may see a legislstive move to a wider ban on imports of foreign made firearms and ammo, including C&R and parts-kits.

Not only HAS that already been happening piece by piece with banning barrels with parts kits, the embargo on arms/kits from Russia, and turning down the return of lend-lease/arms to the CMP for redistribution to citizens of America, but other countries have voluntarily vowed to and/or have already made similar moves to prohibit export of the same in appeal to remain in the good graces of the UN.

Therefore, an easy target at this time would be to ban such imports.

In the midst of supply-chain concerns, inflation, and economic strife, where ironivally a great deal of it was CAUSED by this administration, they will argue partly on that point, to say it's necessary to promote jobs/GDP - a canard, but just one point in their false argument.

They will then combine that with the largest increase in sales of firearms the past 2 years at proportional numbers this country hasn't seen since the Civil War - would be to argue that is leading to an increase in 'gun violence' (as if the guns are causing it) and they wish to diminish the flow of guns by minimizing what they'll claim are 'cheaper' low cost guns and ammunition from foreign markets - which we know isn't true, but will sound good to the Anti-2nd Amendment crowd.

It's certainly arguments they used in the past with GCA in 1968, and again in 1989 by Bush on the 'Federal AW ban on import of non-sporting rifles' , and most recently discrete, less obvious restrictions applied during Obama's 2 terms.

Just be on watch for it - it's coming to a Marxist theater near you, and will certainly create more shortages and inflate prices on what is available.

Prices will go down when demand decreases below supply. Prices will never go back down as far as they used to be, unless some new technology radically reduces production costs.

The goal is to make gun ownership and purchase of firearms ammo and so on so expensive that only the well connected and rich can afford it. Sarah Brady said something to this effect and I remember reading about it a long time ago and cannot find it anywhere.

Whether or not she said it the fact remains the state is doing exactly that.
