I think a statistician would refer to this as regression to the mean.

Unfortunately, another mass shooting will create another panic and this slowdown will be forgotten.

Market saturation is the cause. Some manufacturers are reacting to keep sales up by slashing prices. It's working from what I see. I bought very few firearms during the frenzy. I've bought three in the last three months!
What if this whole crusade's a charade?

Oooooooooooo the children, think of the children.
"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen"

Maybe if prices hadn't soared people would still have enough money to buy additional weapons.
Winning may not be everything, but the endorsements are better.

I bought basically nothing this year. The more time I spend on M4C the more money goes to ammo and training.
