True, but the tarrifs add quite a whollop
The panic buying in the US due to politics and the fact that many of the new shooters who bought a gun in the wake of "the summer of love" aka burn it all down BLM is one factor for sure, the other factor is inflation in general means people have less disposable cash and are choosing to shoot less in order to buy the basics..... same thing is true in Canada people are having to cut back and prioritize expenses.
Even if the prices were not going up another 10-15% the fact the prices have doubled in the last 3 years was already cutting in to the amount of shots fired.

Funny, called Reinhart trailers today to get a quote on a trailer... Canadian made trailers, Canadian company, using Canadian steel and hardware... but of course I was given a ridiculous price tag, with "oh, you know, tariffs" as an excuse..
Before tariffs, for a couple of years it used to be "oh, you know, covid" bs excuses... remember calling my winter wood guy, and gave me the same bs covid excuse.. like what, covid made the trees sick or something?
Always something. All bs if you ask me.
Man-made smoke and mirrors, unreasonable excuses, all driven by nothing more than simple and pure GREED.
More millionaires and billionaires were made in the last few years than ever before in the human history.
This supposed ammo 10% increase will turn out to be more like 20%+ after everything is said and done... so predictable

The Covid-19 scam was the largest wealth transfer in the world!...
It was absolute bull-sh1t by the corrupt Liberals to inflate everything.
And the current tariffs in Canada are again a Liberal 25% and growing bull-sh1t tax that Trudy-Socks and China-Con-Carney came up with.
As long as these pecker-heads are in charge, expect to pay more for anything you want or need in the future.
Canada is broken, and the Liberals are going to finish us all off with inflation, increased taxes, skyrocketing food prices, and increased immigration to the point we will never be able to elect a Conservative Government.
Welcome to Chinada Eco, it's a lost cause I'm afraid!.............

The conspiracy types are saying it is to bankrupt the middle class.
Remember my dad saying years ago that “The government has been destroying the middle class for years”. They’re not even trying too hard to hide it anymore.

Exactly. Has been going for a very long time. Middle class owns stuff, has personal wealth, owns small business, is fairly independent from the government teat.
The government hates that independence.
They have been taking it away for a very long time. It started off with being uncool to own stuff. Be it a car, a house, a music CD, a bike, a tool... anything and everything.
I get laughed at when I say I don't like leasing or renting or streaming or "sharing".. even by mature adult dumba$$es, bcz they have all been brainwashed into believing that you don't need to own anything anymore, instead you rent it or stream it or lease it etc. The kids of today are completely reprogrammed and don't even know anymore what it is to be independent and have personal wealth or ownership
Soon enough people won't have anything attached to their name anymore... they will be 100% dependent on the massive conglomerate corporations sleeping in bed with the government, who will own everything, and only let you have it when they want it, and for a fee. You become that dependent cash cow that they will milk for as long as you live...
In 2020 I was buying 12ga target loads for $60 per flat for challenger, Winchester or federal, now you really have to look hard to find them for $125 - $135 per flat so that's doubled in the past 5 years, and almost all ammunition has followed that trend, this is but another increase that we the shooting public will have to absorb, it's getting expensive and out of hand and doesn't just relate to US manufactured ammunition, the clever, Rio and other European ammo has followed the upward trend, bite the bullet so to speak
At some point people will reduce or stop buying, it's already happened to people on tight budgets.
See how long the price increases on already high prices last when the product is collecting dust and messing up just in time distribution.
The "sales" are coming, but most won't have the spare cash to "capatilze" on the opportunities.

One way and perhaps the only way to show your displeasure as a consumer is to change spending habits.
Don't like the companies listed that arbitrarily inflate their prices then buy something else. As far as I'm concerned Norma, Score, S&B, PPU, Sako and Lapua to name a few all make great products too.
And before somebody reflexively blurts out that they're doing that too - you really don't know that or else show evidence.
Just perusing the Cabelas/Bass Pro ammo shelves lately I find many of the above products to be cheaper and of comparable quality.

Russia has been finding PPU ammo being used by Ukraine and has told Serbia to stop exporting it..... so they stopped in June of this year. Any you find will be NOS. Same for Zastava rifles.
Co-operation is the winning strategy.
A simple example of co-operation with our current prediciment would have been agreeing with the Americans that our border is a problem instead of acting like children. We could also have agreed with them that we have been negligent with our Milliray and let the Americans do the heavy lifting on our behalf.
By the way, I notice you like to use the slang 'y'all" when ever you pose these types of questions..... when I hear "y'all" I don't think of Canadian conservatives, it's almost like your suggesting that people with different ideas from your own are back water hill billy types with southern US drawls.... the kind of low lifes that never went to the fancy institutions of indoctrination that more privleaged people kind like yourself may have attended...... it's the type of self righteous, passive aggresive nonsense that gets in the way of better conversations that might lead us towards..... Co-operation.
How do you cooperate when their "problems" are made up? The fentanyl thing was widely discredited as an example - less than 1% of it is coming from Canada. Not only that, but in response to the first round of tariffs we DID promise to spend more on the border. How'd that go? Oh yeah, MORE TARIFFS!
It's all made up bull####, that's why no deal has been made, there's nothing to actually negotiate, unless you think our very sovereignty is up for negotiation. Besides, Trump doesn't work that way. To him every deal has a clear winner and loser, theres no such thing as a mutually beneficial deal, there's no such thing as cooperation for the good of both sides.
As for my use of y'all, I just like the word. Anything you read from me using that word is you over thinking - or more likely you projecting.
Ok, fair enough, I didn't take you as a Y'all type, but it just goes to show you how close we are to the Americans. Their cultural influence is strong on Canadians as you have illustrated. We have a lot in common despite the current Anti-American or Anti-Orange sentiments.
It's probably not possible to Save America from it's decline, but the fact is Canadians should be rooting for anyone trying because we are currently heavily dependant on them.
Maybe you thought Biden/Harris was doing a better job with the border etc and were making America great in a better way then the Orange guy.... who knows? No one is perfect and at the end of the day it's not going to be politicians that save us from ourselves.
Some anti progressive people prefer more progressive nonsense simply to speed up the collapse, I'm not in that camp but I understand their position.
As to the everything is "made up" part.... my cousin died from Fentanyl and I hear a few others in Canda have as well.
You might not think we have a Fentanyl problem, or that Cartel's have moved in recently, or that a fraction of cargo is inspected at our ports of entry.... but that doesn't really change what is happening.
Co-operation is not easy that's for sure and it's not just people like yourself and Trump that stand in the way of thinking it's possible.
Many other Countries have been dealing with Trump's Trade disruption better then Canada..... the first easy step is to act like adults and not spoiled brats.
Sure the Liberals eventually promised to "invest" in the border but it was only after they spewed out your nonsense that there is no problem with Canada's borders and that Trump is a liar.
Trump is over the top with many statements and exaggerates everything.... his political opponents have been trying to use that against him for 8 years. Doesn't work...... and yet here we are with people like yourself parroting the same nonsense like it's going to suddenly be effective.
Instead of repeating mistakes it's time to try new approaches for those capable of adapting to change and thinking outside their bubble.
My cousin also died from fentanyl. She was 17 or 18 at the time. My aunt will never be the same. I never said there wasn't a fentanyl problem in either country, I'm saying the Canadian border isn't a significant factor.
Blaming Canada for fentanyl entering USA is on the same level as blaming licensed gun owners in Canada for gun deaths, despite the vast majority of guns being sourced from the USA. It's amazing how people like you can see how bull#### it is to blame gun owners for gun violence when the left says it, but when Trump does the exact same thing with fentanyl and the border you just accept it as a truthful reflection of reality.
