This video from Trench Grenade discusses the impact of US tariffs on the firearms and ammunition market. The speaker, who identifies as an "average United States economic collapse spectator" and is seven years from army retirement, explains how tariffs on imported ammunition brands like PMC, Privy Partisan, Igman, SMB, and Magtech will lead to significant price increases (20-37%).
