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.

Not so sure about the prices of firearms and ammunition remaining stable. Under Mango Mussolini, the fucknut MAGATs went into full panick buying mode and demand flew past supply resulting in price increases across the board.

~~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.

Variable on guns.

Mine is a Walther. Walther guns are manufactured in Ulm, Germany.

Sig Sauer manufactures here, but imports components.

Beretta has a Tennessee facility for the American market. They import some of their components.

I’m not looking up everything, limiting it to solid 9mm handgun producers.

Google is also telling me the metal used for guns is a mix of imported and domestic. So yes, it looks like gun prices will go up with tariffs.

Supply may be an issue for all of the above if the American manufacturers stop importing components and metal.

Sounds like this person’s neighbor is a “Good Christian.”
