    It is ironic that we have been in a period of sales of epic proportions. With a slight dip, they start acting like the industry is collapsing. All the idiots have to do is graph NICS. Of course they aren't helpful for sales prior to that.

    I am 100% sure that gun sales are down. Lets face it, in CT and NY it is nearly impossible to buy a decent gun. And so many people bought the hell out of guns in the last two years that at this point they are probably more interested in Ammo, or customization, or training, or something un-gun related.

    Prices are dropping pretty quickly on mid and lower end guns. The bubble is over.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    At some point, existing gun owners will reach a saturation point (to the degree that is possible). How long did anyone expect for sales rates to continue to increase? Obama triggered a calculus equation of sorts, with sales rates and new gun owners increasing at an increasing rate. I'd venture to say that the number of new gun owners is still increasing, but the rate of increase is decreasing - NOT the number of gun owners or guns owned declining. Also, the economy has pretty much sucked since Q2-2008, with very little improvement in most sectors of the economy, so the fact that gun sales/gun sports were on such a dramatic upward curve all that time showed what an incredible priority it was/is for Americans to put guns in the cabinet. Someone is still buying up ammo, because many calibers are still hard to come by.

    Since Q2-2008, I've purchased five long guns and three handguns, so I contributed to that growth curve (all of which I lost last month in an unfortunate boating accident). I'll probably focus on reloading for a while, so I can shoot the few guns I have left.
