Give it another 3 to 4 months and we'll see. Hunting season is about 6 weeks away, everyone is going to be getting shotguns, muzzleloaders, and bolt actions. The AR's will continue to sit on the shelves and by holiday shopping season, I can see prices going down a little more, but not by much.
Come early next year when the Dem party is unified behind one candidate, depending on who that person is, prices will start going back up. The thing about the the last two elections is guns weren't talked about because, even tho Obama and Hilary don't like them, they couldn't say anything about guns without losing huge amounts of votes.
The current radicalism ruling the Democrat party has them so far removed from reality that they will openly run on an anti gun platform. They're not even trying to say the usual "nobody wants to take your guns" line, they're openly saying they'll ban semi auto's and put taxes and regulations on gun and ammo ownership. They can't comprehend that will lose them votes in states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan and that will lose them the election, even tho they'll win the popular vote... which really means nothing.
Prices are going to go up next year no matter what as there'll be a mass shooting at some point, the media will sensationalize it like usual, the Dems will have new reasons to cry about the children, etc, and people will panic buy.
Us gun people will go out and buy a gun we like because we're gun nuts, but there's a number of people out there who aren't like us, but are either pro gun, but have other interests or hobbies they put before shooting and think they may get banned. It's the elections every 2 or 4 years that get them motivated to buy.
In fact, that's how I became a gun nut. In 2014 I was anticipating mid term elections in my state going an anti gun way (come to find out years later the state legislature is not interested in any Assault Weapon laws because they themselves would be subject to them) and 2016 elections coming up, so I went out and bought some. And then I bought more... and more... and more and now I have more than I know what to do with.
