So what do you propose? We take to the streets and throw molotovs at responding officers?
Uh..no offense but how on earth did you get that from the comment you quoted?

I wouldn't count your chickens. Nothing real has been avoided. We are still barreling down the road to financial ruin as a country.
You and I "avoided" $20 gal milk and the ability to watch our economy grow. Our "representatives" avoided, yet again, accountability for their egregious mismanagement of our money.
The cliff still looms despite what the pundits regurgitate.
To put it in perspective; We are deeper in debt, per capita, than our friends in Greece and are taking no real steps to fix that.
Reaction to government intervention in the market is the opposite of a free market.Free market. Those people are going to feel mighty dumb in a few months when gun control becomes a murmur again and prices fall on gun stuff.
I was bitten by the bug just a couple months pre madness as well. Had been doing a LOT of research narrowing down what I wanted to pick up but now I will have to wait a while I think.
Well they will at some point if a ban is not passed, after the last ban ended everything started high and then went down, and ever since our current president was elected it started going up again.
Well the guns and magazines that people fear may be included in the ban have had the prices go crazy. However, there are many, many options for new gun owners - as well as collectors like me to purchase firearms at near normal cost. 22LR haven't gone up appreciably, many bolt action guns are close if not at the pre-shooting level. I watch the prices pretty close, just attended a gun show last weekend - going to Lebanon GS this weekend. I don't think most revolvers have moved in price at all. Shotguns haven't raised - except the Tactical style that people fear will be banned. Most semi-auto handguns haven't really increased in price - except for the ones with over 10 round mags, even those haven't raised much. Military firearms like the Mosin Nagant, Mausers and Lever guns haven't skyrocketed in price like the AR's and AK's. In truth, I wouldn't have recommended an AR or AK to a first time gun owner anyway. I know they were/are the "in" thing, but there are a lot better choices for most uses, including home and self defense any targeting. I sure don't want to see any ban or restriction on any of my 2nd amendment rights - really think a lot of the fear is exaggerated. I hope the NRA does well in defending our rights.I'm pretty sure the Internet has made it impossible for new gun owners to get anything. Just for poops and giggles I watched a gun broker auction
For a colt 6920 with the le/mi stamp, the same one a friend of mine bought for 1100 a year ago go for 2400 bucks. That is insanity, the new colt 308/556 was selling for that a month ago, a scar was that price. I fear that this scare over the new ban will make it hard for lower income ppl To get into the hobby and that is sad. I'm really hating what's going on.
A rated rebublicans talking about doing something about the assault weapon problem now, this crap is depressing. And don't get me started on ammo, you can't find it. One Damn bastard idiot crazy nut job ******* and the gun community goes crazy buying up everything in sight driving prices to insane levels. Arg this sucks!!!!
We are a witness to economics 101 that we all had to learn in school. Supply vs Demand
I'm not understanding the supply side right now. You have Colt, DPMS, Rem, Stag, Bushmaster, Windham, Olympic, Rock River, DTI, LWRC, LMT, Daniels etc. etc. not to mention the numerous lower makers out there yet no supply seems to be getting through, whats going on with that? There should be more than enough manufacturers to put a dent in this demand.
the price will never come back down to what it was
History bares this out, in 2004 I bought a new SAR1 AK for $340.00 and an Armalite M4 for $360.00, even at the low point of late 2011 wasr's where that much and AR's where $600.00 +. Prices may drop, but will never be that low again.
If someones wants to get into shooting and collecting there are still great bargins in Mosin's, Mauser's, and Enfield's. The problem is everyone wants the latest "cool" toy to play with.
Well sorry but that boat has sailed, ( along with the one with all the $4500.00 1965 Shelby GT 350's)
