I don’t know about “burst”, but people aren’t buying the way they were and ammo is far less hard to find.
You’ll know when the bubble bursts when you start seeing lot of scary black guns on http://www.gunlistings.org
There were a spate of “Never fired! $1600 Bushmaster AR-15 with (a bunch of accessories)” a few months ago, but it’s slowed down.

Simple; All of those who had nothing now have something and the market has saturated itself. so now folks will be turning to food, growing gardens, and making other preps for what we all know lies ahead. There will still be good sales, just not record sales, and ammo will be bought more than the guns themselves. Keep one, Hand one off, and BURY ONE just in case. and on that note, BUY MORE AMMO

Yep, I need to stock up on ammo still yet. Don’t know how many responses he got, but I thought it was neat to have been quoted in Jim’s article.

For the shlock guns, yes the bubble has burst as Cledus and Jasper now have their Rock River or Bushmaster shit guns. Still heavy demand for the premium blends (LMT, Colt, inter alia).
The ammo situation is very strange to me. While in Texas (January) and Alabama (March) I saw piles and piles of ammunition on store shelves. Cabela’s in Fort Worth and Cheaper Than Dirt had stacks of pistol ammo like that Qbert video game from the ’80s. Larry’s Pawn and Banjo in Huntsville had ammo stacked down the middle of the store and in front of the pistol cases as if they were building little forts.
Meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice, er, I mean north of the Ohio River, ammo trickles in and it does not stick when it comes in. We make the ammo up here but send it south? Very confusing.
I do not think ammo will untangle until January of 2011 and make take until January 2013 to stabilise.

Meh. Sometimes I wish it would burst. 🙂

Wow, you mean the $400 357 will now cost $400 instead of $800!!
Oh, thank you Lord.
