Guns are not getting more expensive ....... it's just that the American Dollar is worth less ...... simple economics: if you increase the supply of a thing, then the value of a unit of that thing goes down. If you decrease demand for a thing, the price will go down. When China stops wanting our Dollar, we are in for a double whammy......
Guns and ammo to feed them are in demand, because the times ahead are uncertain, and the .gov (Fed/State/Local) has shown that it can not protect you-only pick up afterward and try to catch the perps ....they used to punish the perps, now they subsidize them and send them to school on your dime.......
You want gasoline to go down? Go back about 10 years and cut all the BS red tape to building new refineries, and open as much new land to drilling as possible- that would have increased the supply available today. Stop spending tax money on subsidizing unproven electric cars, and spen 1/2 of that on expanding the meager infrastructure for Compressed Natural Gas vehichles, techknololgy which has been around for decacdes, with no place to fill them.... that would reduce demand for gasoline, further reducing the price...... but I digress.....
