I have been to the last several gun shows here in OKC, and they were like ghost towns maybe 10-15 customers present. I also know several owners of gun shops and they all say sales have been incredibly slow the last 2-3 months. The more I look into things I have developed a theory and it goes like this:
There was the panic of 2013-2014 a lot of not really gun people went and purchased firearms (Mostly ARs and Glocks) of all kinds. They purchased gear and ammo and all kinds of stuff driving all the prices through the roof and making it difficult to get things. Now that the panic is over and has been for a few months a lot of those people have decided they don't really need all the firearms and ammo they laid up, and are flooding the market with all manner of surplus arms and ammo in quantities grater than the market can absorb. Thus driving the prices way down. Thoughts?
