Since most gun gougers really know little about guns, most of them will probably get stuck with overpriced junk automatics (Jimenez). I really feel gun prices and ammo prices are going to dive once imports open up with Russia. Being a avid gun colloector with around 100 guns, I couldn't be happier either. Because even though I got some prized guns worth mega bucks, I bought them because I liked them not to re- sale for profit. Hope they all the gougers get stuck with ammo, that they probably dont know, doesn't last forever.
I used to love spending an afternoon shooting the .22s, but now days it's like winning the lottery just to find .22 ammo in the stores. Now I have to spend months buying ammo here and there whenever it's available (which isn't very often) just to be able to shoot once or twice a year. This is beyond ridiculous. .22 ammo should be cheap and plentiful, but the hoarders, or flippers, or whatever you want to call them have ruined the hobby...Like you said, I hope they all get stuck eating all of that ammo...
