Out of curiosity, do you figure in sales tax on retail pricing, or is your 10% below retail before sales tax is added in?
.I have loved Dr. Who since 1974. That was when there were no special effects and a good story and your imagination carried the day.
I liked Tom Baker best. I actually liked Dave Tennant 2nd best. 'Eldrad must live'
Id say easily 90% of my guns are unfired. If I buy a case of ak47's I don't feel a need to shoot one or all of them. Why I've shot an ak47 many times just like an ar15 just like a 1911 etc etc.
On an unrelated note, I have only seen certain people spell gurl, were you born a girl?
I don't understand how someone can buy a new gun, lets say a Daniel Defense M4, for say $1799+, never fire it, only take it out and look at it, and later on they get in a bind, they go to sell it, and they ask $1500. What happened to $300+ worth of value? And before you say they don't do that, I want to point out that buyers and sellers in the classifieds seem to expect a substantial discount even on new/unfired guns. A very few firearms seem to go up in value from retail. Most everything I'm seeing is down from retail.
I don't understand how people selling their guns claim that they are unfired, and expect to be believed? Does Anyone go to that person and really buy the gun totally believing that claim? I buy guns from dealers that are 'new' and I often wonder if the store owner had a day of fun with it before cleaning it and putting it back on the display wall.
I don't understand why anyone would not fire a gun they bought, unless they just haven't gotten around to it yet. Do people really buy a gun with intentions to NEVER fire it? Why? Brain Damage?
I don't understand why a Never-fired gun is inherently better than a lightly and carefully used gun. Provided the gun has been taken care of and looks and functions as new, is there any substantial difference from being like new? Can anyone do a blind test on two identical guns, one new and never fired, and the other nearly new, lightly used a bit and then cleaned, and tell ANY difference?
I don't understand why Americans like Dr. Who, when we have so many domestic sci-fi shows of our own going back decades? Seems anti-american to me... Take that Tardis off your dashboard and put an Enterprise on there, for Spock's sake!
There are "Shooters"...and then there are "Gun Owners." I would estimate the "Owners" outnumber the "Shooters" by at least 10:1.
Life does get in the way. However: I notice many of these folks with safes full of unfired guns seldom miss an episode of "Walking Dead." I get an earful of it at work every day. It's just a matter of priorities. You have to want to get a few rounds in before dark, on a weeknight, more than you want to see that TeeVee show.
I don't understand why people worry so much about what other people do.
I don't understand why Pillsbury frozen biscuits are so much better than their biscuits that come in the tube that you pop open.
I don't understand why everyone doesn't recognize that individual liberty is a commodity whose value is second only to life itself, and arguably more valuable in some circumstance. Similarly, I don't understand why people think it's okay to compromise someone else's liberty in order to enact their own agenda.

I don't understand much of what you don't understand.I don't understand why, that on the occasions I have purchased a lottery ticket, each and every time it has been defective.
I don't understand why the seller will not refund my money or replace the bad ticket with a good ticket.
I don't understand why my plan to become a petro-millionaire has yet to reach fruition.
I don't understand why people allow cats inside of their homes other than to eliminate vermin.
I don't understand how people can carry less than three knives on their person.

I don't understand a lot of things.
Yup. I suddenly became must less interested in the meat and potatoes (see what I did there) of this thread.Dang....

The topic at hand was explosives, BTW, frankly more dangerous and easier to screw up than guns.
