What Does Inflation Mean to Gun Owners?

​I've been wondering about the long-term impacts of inflation on gun ownership in America.  Recently, I was talking to the owner of a local gun store in Goochland and he said there are more used guns for sale than ever before.  One possible explanation for this is that people are selling their guns to help them afford the basics.   Since there are so many guns available, prices are low, so its actually a bad time to sell (good time to buy though).  

Also, this week Colonial Shooting Academy announced they are closing after 12 years.  This is a huge loss for the Richmond area.  Colonial was a fantastic facility with a large indoor shooting range and gun store.  I'm guessing the massive inflation of recent years means Richmond area gun-owners just don't have the room in their paychecks to shoot as much as they used to (or as much as they want).  I'm hopeful a new owner will buy the building and keep it as a range but if inflation doesn't ease, it seems like less people will be able to enjoy the shooting sports.
