Guns- a commodity like anything else. Demand and supply. The post election frenzy was based on speculation, people speculated that Obozo would drop the hammer on firearms. When the next rattle of pending legislation comes out it will be the same.
Ammo- all of the above reasons plus the cost of raw materials. Lead and copper are not getting any cheaper.
I'd expect Obozo to try something in the next 14 months.

Transportation costs (diesel fuel, tires) play a role in the price of ammo, ammo is heavy last I checked.
