Or maybe, the folks that want/wanted them, have already bought them
And now the concentration is on ammo, which is still hard as hell to get at a decent price.
And maybe, the panic is over. Ramp up the gun control stuff again and see what happens.
That was my first thought as well. AKA: Saturation.
I am watching for promotions on AR’s though. Saw nice PSA with Aimpoint Pro red dot for $1100. Knock another $100 off and I'll probably invest for each of my 3 grandsons (ages 1-7). Eventually the Supreme Court will get flipped and the 2nd Amendment won't be worth the paper the Constitution was written on. In 20 years the grandsons will be glad I thought ahead.
I say if you can afford it invest in arms and ammo.
