We all know it's still very hard to find an AR and at a good price and many semi-auto handguns such as glocks and M&Ps are still hard to find especially in 9mm. But it seems like supply is catching up and demand is slowly going down. Ammo prices are slowly going and going out of stock slower. "high cap" mags are saying in stock longer. I believe Palmetto State armory has had their D&H 30 round mags in stock for about 3 days now so far. Prices on lowers on websites such as Impact Guns have come down slightly. Is the worst behind us? How long do you think until prices and supply are back at normal levels? I think at this rate by September things should be back at normal are even below. Thoughts?

After the 2008 panic I think it was about a year before it really returned to "normal". This time is a bit different because the panic is more justified with a number of draconian laws actually on the table and Obama doesn't have to worry about reelection (the threat is more real this time).
Depending on what legislation passes, the panic can swing back up. This could especially happen in California... So consider this like a brief respite, I don't think we can say that the panic is gone for good...
Even if most laws fail (and/or courts strike them down), I'm not sure it will ever really return to how things were. While prices will eventually come down from where they are now, the maket may always be just a bit more expensive than it was in 2010."The fundamental point [against gun control] is this: Do you take away the liberties of all, do you assume the guilt of all, because some people cannot handle that freedom properly?

Nope. It will be a year before we start to see normalization.Comment

It seems like things are starting to stabilize. Lower receivers and ammo are slowly becoming more available but bcgs and barrels are going to be on back order for a while.Comment

Yes, the panic officially ends Saturday...Comment

I don't think it's over.
Look at the lowly Mosin, a gun many people used to think was ugly and would only sell when marked down @ Big5.
Now the online stores can sell a 1000 copies in a matter of mere hours. (See AIM, Classic) And the prices are roughly twice as much as pre-panic. Mosin sales are a feeding frenzy, better have your 03 ready to go, you have no time to "think about it overnight." The next morning the cupboard will be bare again.Comment

IMO, we as gun owners are condemned to endure a "Boom & Bust " cycle , because the catalyst for the spike were legislation proposals by anti gun pols. As such, I don't think we can call the panic "over". Rather, we're just in the downside of the trough before the next spike.So long as Obama and Biden are still in office, it's just a matter of time until the madness happens all over again.The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be.
