eBay prices tanked

Well I'd like an AR15, likely a national match model legal for high power competition. Haven't figured what twist yet.

I still have powder, brass and primers from the Clinton days. Long shelf life, doing better than my 401K.

I was ready to buy an AR back in the 90's but the military looking rifle ban (something that was a direct assault on the Constitution) came along and ran the price up.

Years later, after getting things back together after a restart of my career, I was at the point where I was going to buy my first black rifle but the Obama thing came along. Another rise in prices since the gun community doesn't trust him. Look at the man ready to succeed him, Joe Bidden, anyone that supports gun rights has to be worried about that.

I have enough guns to start a local militia and other than the wars they were in, never hurt anyone.

When you use the term gun nutz it implies much. Like gun enthusiasts are 'disturbed'. A gun is a machine. A piece of history. An example of state of the art metalworking at the time produced. It is a check against an oppressive government, something that we have not excercised often which is proof that we are not nutz.

Another offensive term is 'arsenal'. I could have 3000 guns but if I get into a tiff with the government 2997 or more will have little use at that moment. 10,000 rounds of ammo (pikers) doesn't mean much either. Start popping a few off at people and that activity will end shortly. Few of us live in bunkers. Siding, osb, insullation and drywall will not stop a well directed .308 .

Your trip on a roadway imposes more danger to your life than all the gun owners in this country. Keep this in perspective. You are a researcher, show me that my closing statement is wrong with cites.

Wes, this is what I was responding to:

============================================ AR15 rifles are all back ordered and jacked up in price.

On line gun suppliers cannot answer the phone, they are so busy shipping.

Try squeezing you butt into a gun show at 8:00 a.m. when they used to be mostly empty. They are jammed with crowds.

What does it all mean? Enough people are frightened enough to buy up the military arms and Gold.

============================================

Which got this response:

============================================

The gun dealers only have to point at recent and current Democrat legistlation and statements of intent by the Left.

When they themselves declare that your guns and your liberty are up for grabs....the gun dealers dont need to use Democrat Scare Tactics.

When the Communist army is spotted on the horizon, and headed your way....the prudent man stockes up,and prepares. ============================================

Those are the paranoid gun nutz at work. And I made clear that they were all I was talking about.

As for your remark "When you use the term gun nutz it implies much. Like gun enthusiasts are 'disturbed'," it happens that some of them are. And the number of "normal" people you see at gun shows seems to be declining in favor of some pretty strange characters. Hang around the Paladin Press booth at a gun show and you'll see quite a few of them hanging around.

It's too bad, but that's how it is. They've always been there but they're more noticeable now, or maybe I'm more aware of them.

Of course, I'm not talking about you and me. d8-) The responsible gun owners doubtless are in the large majority, but the nutz attract the attention. And, as I said, they may be helping out the economy as we speak...

That sounds like ex communicated gun writer Jim Zumbo. He said something negative about AR15 ownership, and it got the biggest baddest reaction by the gun culture since Bill Clinton.

Jim had to go to seek forgiveness at the feet of Ted Nugent, much like Randy Marsh said the N word on TV and to publicly kiss Jesse Jackson's bare ass on TV. Life imitates art.

Indeed. The Prussian title "von" really ment something.

"Not so old as to need virgins to excite him, nor old enough to have the patience to teach one."

I think exactly what you are looking for determines the results that you observe.

I've not noticed a lot of cheaper items, but I have noticed a *lot* of "no bid" items.
