Because of the "Assult Weapon Ban"...Everyone saw their chance to make big money on AR's...

Everyone is trying to sell cheap AR for big money...So many people went to PSA and bought AR's for $799.00 and just doubled the price and listed them for sale.

Panicing people wanted to "grab on up before it was too late" so, panic buying fed gouging prices and ammo hording... That explains it to me...about the AR's...

What I don't understand...WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE .22 MARKET ???????

Why are people hording .22's.....why has the whole public lost their minds over .22's....They were never mentioned in any bans....No laws to take .22's away...WHAT IS GOING ON THERE ??????

About the .22 market....i don't understand it myself. I saw a brick on arms list and the asking price was more than my first car cost!!!

im not in that catagory.

i have bought some lowers, parts kits but have not tried to sell any. i just have a hard time selling i guess. even when someone i know sold 2 complete lowers for $600 ea, i didnt try. i guess if someone came to me wanting to pay that for one i might have.

as for 22s, i hoarded them all before they ran out, now the machine that makes them is broken.

probably everyone that has a gun has a 22. they could sit back with a box or two no problem. so now think of 50 or how ever many million people with 22s buying bricks or cases when they can.

The other side of the coin shows this to me:

A lot of people are paranoid that they will come after "banned" firearms shortly after legislation is passed. This may or may not be true, we just don't know for sure. As I type this the TV says the President is on his way to Connecticut today speaking more about gun control. That being said, small wonder people are so worried about the future of firearms. I'm sure there are a lot of AR owners that would rather sell theirs(and at a good profit if possible) than have it confiscated for nothing in the uncertain future. The same goes for pretty much everything else that could wind up being confiscated down the road.

Who knows what's in store for everyone. Every action has an opposite reaction.

You guys may have seen this program. This is one manufacturer of 22 ammo and they make an awesome number of rounds per day.

If people require food and water to live then why do so many people sell it? Shouldn't they be hoarding it?




Most gun owners in the USA are NOT firearms aficionados (i.e. gun nuts). Most people that have purchased an AR-15 in the past five years (thanks, Obama!) likely haven't fired even 500 rounds through it. I would further state that most people that have purchased an AR-15 in the past few months have done so with the explicit desire to resell the gun for 200% - 500% what they paid for it.

If living in houses is so great then why are there millions of houses for sale? Because not everyone purchased the house with the intention of keeping it. They wanted to sell it for profit.

I bought an AR-15 in 2005 and sold it two months ago for 4 times what I paid for it. I had no intention of selling the gun but the market was too tempting.

I still have two other AR-15s and a cavalcade of AK-47s. Me selling that one AR-15, for way too much, does not detract from the operability of the platform. It merely demonstrates Capitalism at it's finest.

Welcome to America.

True enough...

but so many people don't seem to know what to do. They are torn between following the status quo or acting before it's too late. Even then a lot of people don't know what to do. It is difficult for the average citizen to go from one side to another. Rights and laws blur even more these days, they change so much. Gun laws are so varied from state to state, even from city to town in individual states themselves. Laws they are pushing for are already emplaced in a number of states. My state alone already has their registry in place from long ago for the most part. We have to wait and see what our efforts are to aid firearm reform for the better, and hopefully not the worst.
