    I think things will come back in time. Just figuring out the laws still and how deep the rabbit hole goes. plus a lot of people are cash poor after buying tons of stuff and if they bought during the peak their stuff isn't worth that price any more and they Dont want to take a loss
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    I see ads down near me for PMags at $45 and higher. That's for Gen2 MOE mags, not the new Gen3's or PMag 40s (like either of those are worth that price anyways). Even my local gun shop has them for $28 now. I went into my LGS thinking that if they had them for $15-16, I might just support them some, then I saw the price. Went home and ordered 4 on Midway for $12 each.

    I just wish powder and reloading components would make a faster come back. I really need some more powder and my LGS doesn't have it.

    One of the issues I see that drives me nuts is a large number of the people that have guns for sale that are at least 50 years old keep putting in there add that they need a BGC at an FFL. Why do this when the only sanity we have left is the C&R clause to continue to trade and sell without going through a BGC? We need to quit letting the gun grabbers have more power than they have or deserve under the new BGC law.

    C&R's are exempt? Why hell, I prefer those anyway.

    I guess we gotta see if this new BGC is enforced. If this is like the old "adultery laws" of the past? Probably won't be enforced unless a "gun" crime is committed!

    Yep. I would have been a buyer of the SPAS 12 folder that came up,(to match the strait stock gun I have), but did'nt want to deal with the FFL transfer BS.

    I'm sure it will come back some, but never to the levels before the new laws (unless they get overturned somewhere along the way). After $10 for a BGC and then the fees of the FFL, a used firearm will need to be a very good deal or a lot of people will just purchase new.

    Maybe so, but I know I don't want to be the one to find out if they will be enforced or not. What will happen when someone legally uses a firearm in self-defense and it's found out that the firearm was originally purchased after the new laws went into effect by someone else and the person using it never had it "legally" transferred. Sounds like a wet dream for the anti-gun crowd.
