So I was just Involved in a long drawn out argument with some of my less firearm educated room mates, My point was that I believe that the purchase of some guns can be a safe investment, granted that interest is not acquired over the time that the gun is owned before it can be possible sold, but the majority of most firearms do not lose their value as much as most tangible property one can choose to invest in. This all began when I brought up how my purchased of a Rock Island 9mm AP9 was a somewhat safe investment as long as I properly maintained it and kept it's like new condition. Id just like to hear everyone's input in the sense that most guns hold their value better than a lot of alternatives someone could choose to make an investment in. Personal value and attachment to such firearms were brought up but did not fit into any category my econ major room mate could think of. Sadly they were in need of some education.
