    While guns, which are manufactured in the US will stay the same price…coffee and chocolate will go up a lot.

    So there are going to be some edgy people with access to firearms.

    Stay safe next year.

      How many gun manufacturers are actually based in the US? I’m fairly sure it’s like 2. Sig and Smith & Wesson… most firearms are imported. Including Springfield, which used to be a US manufacturer.

      Never mind, it’s still a fair number. Lots are imported though and you’re paying a lot more for a lot of US brands.

        Even if they’re assembled in the US, do those US brands have entirely domestic supply chains? If they need to import raw materials for manufacturing their products, I doubt many CEOs are just going to take the loss on margin in the name of patriotism.
