How valuable do you think a "common" gun would be in the event of a civil breakdown? That is what do you think someone would be willing to pay for a new or like new 4" .38 special.
Let's look at this in terms of ounces of gold. Gold is about $585 an ounce right now.
S&W lists on their site that the suggested retail for a new Model 10 is $572 (about an ounce of gold)
Assuming ammo is not a concern, how much (ounces of gold) do you think you could sell one for in the event of a breakdown?
Think about someone who lives in a upper class suburb neighborhood, doesn't own any firearms, and the city proper is full or riots and fires and this chaos may be marching out from the city into the surrounding areas. It's not going to get better. The SHTF and the party's over.
I have thougth several times about buying up some average guns and holding on to them. I doubt I'll lose money, in the long run I may make quite a bit if the government tries to further restrict ownership.
