Worse every day

[doc540]

I STAND ACCUSED!!

And I can't help myself.

This siren sang to me last night, and she's on her way here.




Did I pay too much for it?

All I know is I wanted it, and I bought it.

I did notice that after Nov. 4th, every AK and AR-15 on the wall at Show-me-shooters in Claycomo, MO, was gone (I was in two days before hand to see if he'd got my brand of 7.62x39 in). I've also noticed that the price on EVERYTHING, from his cheapest .38 to his best-line Remington 1100 went up (he said its because he thinks this is the last time he'll be able to sell them).

Well, Free-Market works for and against you. But thank God we've never had to endure communism.

Humor--if you want one, I suggest you buy it and forget the price. It won't have a paper trail to you, and that will soon prove invaluable!

 

[DRYHUMOR]

moosehunt,

At $1200.00?

I could rent a boat, dive gear, and topside hottie for that kind of money.

And recover all the weapons recently claimed lost in boating accidents.

 

[cbrgator]

Don't get that 1200 AK. The price will be back down in a few months.

 

[moosehunt]

Humor--I agree, obviously $1200 is WAY out of line, even more--but no paper trail WILL be invaluable shortly. Granted, maybeso not quite that invaluable--yet.

 

[DRYHUMOR]

cbrgator,

No, I was just sharing what was in the paper today.

 

[moosehunt]

You are dead on, King! I, too, think a revolution, a bloody one, is shortly forthcoming. I'm not happy over it, but it's so. Remember what Jefferson said? A democracy can't stand without spilling blood--not an exact quote, but close.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

I think is what you were thinking of Moosehunt

And because I can't resist.

Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.
Thomas Jefferson

It's funny how smug some people can be. Everything in Obama's record clearly indicates that he wants to ban AW's. He HAS actively voted against even standard hunting cartridges. He opposes CCW. His VP authorized the biggest gun ban in American history. His COS is violently anti-gun. His SOS's husband signed into law the biggest gun ban in American history. The majority leaders in the house and senate are strongly anti-gun. THOSE ARE FACTS!

Yet, despite all these facts, some people honestly believe that no change for gun rights is on the horizon. That is stunning to me. It's like sleeping with a girl who has aids and a trail of dying boyfriends and saying "That's not going to happen to me...I'm wearing a condom".

If you want to call the gun boom "panic buying" and refer to these buyers as idiots, that's fine. Time will tell. If you think there is nothing coming from the new administration, then I say that is full blown idiocy. The question isn't whether or not a ban is coming. Everyone agree's it is. The question is, how extensive will it be? Maybe you'll be lucky and it will only be guns you don't care about. Then you can say I told you so.

Someone said earlier it was a calculated risk... I agree. It's as simple as this...

When Obama takes office... six months to a year will pass...

Either NOTHING will happen as far as a new AWB goes, and prices will fall, buyers will get a good deal once more... maybe not as good of a deal as pre-Obama, but then again, as someone else mentioned, gas is down under $2.00 a gallon.

On the other hand... by June, there may be a new, all encompassing AWB broader than the last, with no sunset, to include SKS's, Handguns (period,) autoloading shotguns and rifles of every kind. But, but... "That'll never happen here!" OK. Brits and Aussies said the same thing, now go an interupt their 18 holes to ask them what they think.

So if you dont buy now, fine, thats your option, this is still a free country (for now.) BUT, if a ban happens, dont whine because you never got the chance to buy one. However, if you buy one now, for a piece of mind, dont whine when the prices drop from the $1200 dollars they are running now (gawd!) back down to $800ish.

And dont bash everyone that didnt buy one when the writing was being placed on the wall a year ago, not everyone has nearly a grand to throw down on a "non-essential" item, especially in this day and age.

BY THE WAY... I JUST READ M&PVOLK's RESPONSE... RIGHT ON BROTHER, RIGHT ON. I WAS TRYING TO BE OBJECTIVE IN THIS POST, HOWEVER FOR THE RECORD, M&PVOLK's RESPONSE WAS DIRECTLY IN LINE.. AND I MEAN DIRECTLY WITH MINE. GOOD POST.

 

[moosehunt]

Mr. M&PVolk--you are very correct, but indeed, I think you are optomistic! The "ban" is going to apply to much more than future buying--it is going to be a "collect what's out there" type of thing. It likely will come in steps rather than one swell swoop, but in this case, it will come in rapid steps. How else can they impose their total control regime? It's not gun control--it's people control!!!! Get it?

I notice that for the most part, it is the young folks (the majority on this site) who have been educated with altered and false histoty (not their fault, they had no input as to their education choice) that are easily swallowing and accepting this socialistic future. Soros and Obama are betting that us old farts that are left aren't up to any more significant resistance and that they have the young adequately brainwashed. Are they correct???

Gonna just throw out an idea.... If the economy continues to head down the toilet and no immediate gun bans are enacted I think we could see prices really drop. People will start selling the post election panic purchase guns to cover more basic expenses and all the dealers who are currently scrambling to keep inventory right now will find themselves swamped with stuff that isn't moving so fast anymore.

AK-47 new plus 2 30rd clips, $1200.00

Am I missing something?

Yes, an opportunity to make some $$$$. I'm not particularly interested in selling any of my guns but if I were offered three times what I paid for an AK it would be hard to turn down.

 

[moosehunt]

Your hypothetical thoughts need deeper consideration. The economy will go down. It is just starting to crash! Inside of 12 months you can expect 25% unemployment. There WILL be firearms bans, and actually, the market will be quite stiff, but mostly because it will be an ilicit gun market. I won't be participating in that market, but when .22 shells are worth a dollar apiece, I will have several thousand to deal with.

i am choking from laughing so hard at the comments on this thread.

 

[qajaq59]

In July I figured that for every thread we had about how hard it will be to buy tactical rifles, the price would go up one penny. So far I'm right on the money.
Talk about a self fulfilling prophesy.

This is a bunch more about Polly's Ticks than about rifles...
