Why those of us who have excess AR's should sell

You mean sport utility rifles?

 

or ..... we could just "acquire" the tools of physical resistance from those who would wish to oppress us

 

Or that person will flip it to make money.

 

I'm a dealer so I conduct this social service on a daily basis also if a person pays 2k for what used to be a 800 AR on an auction site what's the problem?

 

I have tried to convince 2 guys I know with several ARs to sell me one reasonably. One of them is selling his for $14-1600. The other is just going to sit on his.
Last week my LGS got several Windhams in while I was there, asking price was $1,399. This week for those same ARs $1,650. I told them they are just like the gas stations that raised gas prices on 9-11. I also told them I remember which stations did that and still don't fuel up there. Much like I won't stock up on anything from their shop.
Look I get supply and demand and the whole 9 yards but this whole thing is ridiculous. It won't stop as long as people shovel out the money for them though.

 

I have 30 suppliers and I cannot get an AR or lower right now. Thankfully my business is not my only source of income but for those dealers who feed their family from AR sales what do you expect them to do? I have had a ton of people who just want something at MSRP or less so they can flip it. Think about it from the other side of the counter when you don't know when your next shipment will be and therefor you don't know when you'll just not have enough money to feed your family.

 

You see people in C stores paying $10 bucks a gallon for water which is free. They stand there pouring it down bitching about the price of gas. It cost a hell of lot to produce gasoline. The guy is filling water bottles from a tap off a city water system.
The people who did not want a Black Rifle when they were $500 bucks now expect some one else to offer them price protection. If you bought a Handy Gun at Walmart instead of a Colt AR 15 last year. Congrats you saved money.

 

I am sick that I didn't get one before all this happened. I went in the gun store, bought a pistol I could afford, was set to get ar next, money's tight, thank you dear ex wife .

So, I went to store weekly, they told me no more layaways. I started looking at 800 dollar ak, was gonna save, knew the colt ar was out of reason in my budget.

Then the prices went nuts, so 600 for an ak pistol Was what it was gonna be, then Christmas hit with my little boy, so 300 dollar beat up Chinese sks started looking good, etc etc.

This whole thing sucks.

Is what it is I guess, so I'll continue to try and save to get whatever I can prior to these idiots pushing this ignorance down on us.

Anyhow, I imagine there are many in my position that just didn't quite get one before the glut buy skyrocketed prices.

 

Kinda agree with the OP - but only for someone I know really well, and well enough to know and understand why it is that they do not already have an "EBR" and would appreciate the chance to snag one at pre-2013 prices.

Anyone else - sorry, you had the same opportunities I had to spend on what you wanted - and you chose to buy whatever else you did instead.

I am under no obligation to now save you money. Especially after reading posts of AR buyers BRAGGING over gobbling up handfuls of Wallymart 6920s and immediately flipping them for twice what they paid.

 

If I sell a gun it is to buy another gun. I am going to get full price for the gun. If I wanted someone to have a gun so bad I would give them a cut rate price I would just give them the gun outright. I don't get the OP's point. If no gun bans pass there will be so many $400 kits bouncing around it's not funny. This person that you "helped" is going to say "hey you ripped me off"

The odds of any earth shaking legislation passing through congress is pretty low. There are a lot less left wing democrats in congress than you think. We have a lot of blue dog democrats in NC who get an A+ from the NRA. Several are on committees that will shoot stupid laws down before anyone outside of the committee even reads the law.

Just because Feinstein spent a year crafting a law doesn't mean anyone is going to support it. Why should they support her solitary effort? The president has assembled a committee to find a way to stop gun violence. I don't think anyone is going to let a nut job like feinstein get them run out of office. They are going to wait on Obama's committee so they can hear a plan that will work and get public support.

 

Glad your a nice guy & all that but as been said over 'n over if anyone felt no need for a AR a month ago don't need one now anyway--
And don't give me that "But theres goin to be a revolution & we will have to shoot all the politicions" crap----Do it with the JC Higgins single shot 410 you had before

 

Double sigh---
Question is WHY sell any gun you don't want to or planned on selling anyway before this crap started? ---To be nice

 

I read it-
Did you understand what you're asking others to do
