50-100 years from now will guns even spit out lead projectiles?
That was the question in the "lifespan of a firearm" thread. The answer is, no one knows. I know polymer breaks down over time, I've tossed enough things that had deteriorated, but then, the Fla climate is really hard on plastics, rubber, things like that.I am not sure you could know now whether you could safely fire a polymer handgun after 100 years. I intend to pass down my guns, but the polymer pistols seem like they would have a much more finite lifespan. My next firearms purchases will be all metal for that exact reason (well maybe plastic grip panels).
We have two kinds of reality in play: on the ground reality and media reality.
He watched Die Hard 2Senator Howard Metzenbaum started screaming,"Airport gun. This thing could beat the metal detectors."
Any gun which you or your descendants bought via Armslist or another personal deal.
Expanded background checks , one day, could easily result in a growing, new federal registration for FFL deals. This will help facilitate an ultimate objective (though very unlikely).
Whatever "modern guns" Glock, S&W, Sig, etc. will be selling at that time.25, 50, 100 years from now, which modern guns will be coveted
In the age where the majority of youngins mostly carry polymer, taticool, pistols with rmrs, lasers, and the must have 6lb or lighter, audible, crisp, almost competition like triggers, do you all REALLY beleive revolvers and single stack, heavy, low round count pistols like the 1911 will be what they lust over? Most young people of the AR15/Glock age don't really care about blued handguns with with wood grips nor do they really care for revolvers beyond the LCRs and S&W aluminum framed revolvers.
IMHO, whatever it is, it'll probably will be something modern that is popular with most young people today... Something that they grew up shooting. Probably Sigs, CZs, ARs, AKs. Etc.
And if he had invested that money in the stock market wisely, he would be REALLY ruchi knew a man years ago when we were both young who bought every new colt he could get his hands on. never fired them and kept them in the box they came in. he is a old man today sitting on a lot money in guns or used them for his retirement. he had all the kinds of colts made back then.
You should consider yourself lucky if anything on the "assault Weapons" ban list is grandfathered. Elections are coming, pay attention to who is on the ballot.If things go the way they have been going...Any grandfathered AR15s. I doubt they will be legal to buy in 50-100 years.
