IF there is no ban at all, I think we will still see people buying and hoarding for a while.  As you can see by the responses here, it's driven by the fear of missing out or not having it later.The prices will go down again as that mentality diminishes, but you will also have a bunch of people who think their AR-15 is worth whatever the inflated price they paid for it.  They won't be selling those unless they HAVE to.Hopefully, the manufacturers will not drop their production due to the market being saturated.  They will be paying close attention and adjusting their stocks accordingly.  Think about it... they are already now thrust into worrying if they will even be able to keep the doors open if there is a ban.  Even if that IMMEDIATE threat subsides, they will be very leery about things.  It's nice to think that they would just overproduce to have stuff already made if the threat ever comes up again, but that's not how these businesses work... every time they carry inventory for more than 30 days, they have to start dealing with having that money tied up, not earning anything AND costing them storage and potentially extra tax.</blockquote>
