with the current ammo prices being so high and getting higher due to the big "O" being CIC, will prices of ammo go back down in the ever more slightly gun friendly RINO wins instead?

to give you a run down-- back in the 90s one could buy 20 rounds of chi-com brass 223 for about $2

today a 20rd box of 223 is closer to $8-$10 and still climbing.

but look how much EVERYTHING else has went up. food, gasoline electricity, insurance, fees, taxes,and so on --- the reality is that even though ammo has went up a great deal the inflated prices we are seeing is more of an indication of the deflating dollar , rising inflation and increased expenses across the board.

hell just look as what shipping charges are today and you start to get a better picture.

if mit gets the win i don't expect to see a big drop in ammo prices, it might come down a little bit but inflation is going to still be around for a long time.
