I just, ah, panic bought some Danish SS109 ammo....... (I'd have bought it anyways).
Been having this discussion with a coworker in a very specific context in the weeks leading up to the election: cost of a new automobile relative to each of our current household earnings. We are both in the market for a vehicle and the figures we have been seeing for a brand new or almost new one are staggering. A 72 month car loan will result in a payment that looks slightly less like a mortgage payment but that is a hell of a long loan on a good that has almost no value at the end of the transaction. Our income has certainly not kept pace with the increase in prices in that market. I suspect we are not the only ones. I agree with the above, it will get everyone's attention when it becomes worse and widespread. It will also be far too late to do anything about it.

#%*€%#....yup it's started. I went to 2 gun shops yesterday to find some small pistol primers and they had been cleaned out...sigh! Human beings are funny animals. Maybe I am in the dark....I am always optimistic that things will be fine. Callme Polyanna I guess!
Kind of got unlucky that my cash flow to stock up on reloading components landed right after the election. I was pretty worried, but *thankfully*, none of the local places were out of primers and brass yet, and Black Bullets International managed to ship same day.
No changes at Freedom Munitions, other than keeping up with demand.
No changes in the price of Aguila or CCI Blazer as listed here: http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=9mm+Luger
Don't see it yet.

SG Ammo has lots of 9x19 FMJ in stock.
Colorado Springs:
Wal-Mart: No change to availability, they are sold out of Federal 100 rd. 55 grain .223 but they have been selling out of that within a day or two or getting it in for months. No increase to prices.
Sportsman's Warehouse: (general purpose sporting goods store focused on hunting and fishing) No price mark-up, all ammo still available, clerk says that they are moving more ARs than normal but still fully stocked with many ARs, a few AKs, a few M1As
Specialty Sports: (a very large gun store, has everything including Class III and prepping supplies though its prices are VERY high) still has plenty of everything. They pre-empted the buying spree by marking up their prices a few years ago (only half-joking). They are doing business, are busy even, but not running out.
It seems to have hit the really cheap ammo available on the interwebs more than the local stores here.
I saw .45 ACP Winchester Ball at... $650 per case this weekend at Gander Mountain.
Holy Crap!
FYI that $$ would yield 5K+ in reload components......
