[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2983288, member: 423"] I think that's a valid point. However, that was also the first presidential election this board went through. I think also a big contributor to the lack of gun/shooting content was the nearly continuous "gun scares" over the last 8 years. It seemed to be one thing after another that would sky rocket prices, which means a lot of "regular joes" can't afford to shoot / buy as much. If that happens, then there is less talk about it too. After the 2013 Connecticut shooting not only did guns (particularly EBR's) sky-rocket in price - if available at all, but so did ammo and components. Witness the lack of .22 still going on 4 [I][B]years[/B][/I] later. Less than a decade ago, when I graduated college, you could buy a brick of .22 any time you pleased for $15. Now, with the economy slowly improving still, gun prices down, and ammo and reloading components becoming more available and cheaper; I think we will start seeing an improvement in the gun forums. I think we're already starting to see it here. [/QUOTE]
