How is crushing the firearms industry via crashing new gun prices good for us? Do you hate innovation? Do you hate massive dollars going toward fighting anti gun laws? Do you hate protecting the 2A? Is it just shortsighted selfishness?

Sorry but I don't get any of this comment. My point was that Trump may not be a die hard 2A guy but he's not the rabid antigunner that we've had since 2021. So I expect there to be much less panic buying. I expect Trump to appoint an ATF director that doesn't support the agency just pulling a new "Rule" out of their asses every time they feel like it.
And the fact is guns WERE cheaper and ammo was damn sure cheaper from 2016 to the beginning of 2020. If supply far outweighs demand then prices go down. If the buying public doesn't have anxiety attacks about missing the boat as far as being armed then their will be a surplus of guns and ammo.
I don't want ANY gun company to go under. I don't want ANY progun organization to go under. But having a surplus of guns and ammo to choose from is always a good thing. And the fact is that it's the accessories that have the better margins anyway. If ANY shop sells just the gun they ain't making much money. Kinda like if Verizon just sells you a new iPhone they don't make ****. Sure that phone might be $2K but they have close to that much in it. They have to sell you the bogus ass insurance and chargers and a case etc to make any money. That's why they lock you in to multi year contracts. I am NOT against people/businesses making good profits. That's what keeps the lights on so that I can do bidness with them again. But I still say that gun and ammo prices are about to go down . How much remains to be seen. How can that be bad?

That's very true. And I've heard sales managers at various car lots over the years say that same tired old line "You can always come down but you can't go back up." Problem with that logic is that of you start out crazy high then you just blow your customer out before you even get to the negotiation part.
Example: On my way to Warner Robins from Perry I saw an old Ford Focus wagon for sale in front of a body shop. I would love to have it. But I already saw that same car for sale last year at a different location. And even with wavy body work in the drivers door the sign read $3750.00. Okay well if it was perfect it ain't worth that much. So that's why I didn't even bother to call the number on the sign.

If you got to cargurus - you'll see cars listed at the same dealer for 180, 365 or 500 days.

Guess they are in no hurry to sell and really want their asking price. Or they are just waiting on a decent offer and expect to take a lot less...?.

From what I read and watch the news is all bad for car lots especially if it's a Dodge Jeep lot. All those cars sitting there are bad for the floor plan. They're depreciating just sitting there but the banks want their money every month without fail.

Most of the ones I saw were used cars. You'd think they would cut the price some.

Sometimes it shows they also raised the price too.
