If no ban goes through, I'll have profit and guns. If it does, I still have profit and no risk of a criminal record.

I'm writing ammunition into my grocery budget if this blows over.

Once the mania fades, they'll drop back to where they are now. Maybe 10% higher. JMO

Ammo is you best investment. It will only go up even if no new legislation is passed regarding guns. They will tax the shite out of it.

I'm hoping that prices on stripped AR lowers will return to normal once everyone with a dozen in their safe starts to feel like a dumbass.

No I won't. And if there are any IRS agents on here, "handsome profit" is in the spritual sense. I sold them for cost, not dollar profit made. Just the satifaction of no longer having those evol weapons in my possesion.

What good is an AR for home defense anyway compared to a shotgun and pistol?

People are paying insane prices for these things. I didn't even have to advertise. People were calling and leaving messages. Price was going up daily. They better be glad I'm not a price gouger.

I've been seriously thinking about doing the same. I could probably double the price I got it for, then just buy another one after all this crap settles down.

I just really don't want to do this and then have a ban go through.

It's a risk either way. I originally bout them as an investment. So, it wasn't a big deal to me. These were all registered to me as well. Lets say I had some that weren't. If I was that person, I would keep the unregisterd ones unless you got some insane offer. People are paying as if they have already been banned.
