Ammo for almost any caliber will never return to pre-2020 prices. Shit sucks, but that's reality. But in a lot of ways, the guns themselves are better than they used to be, and some of them are very affordable. A typical Bushmaster AR was around $800 in 2012. Adjusting for inflation, that would be about $1100 today. For $1100, you can get an AR that's much nicer than a 2012 Bushmaster. There are a lot of affordable pistols now too. I've seen Ruger's new RXM for as low as $350.
So we kind of live in an upside down world now where the guns themselves are affordable, but ammo to actually shoot them will bleed your wallet dry if you like to shoot often enough.
