Armslist is flaky

Why are you guys selling your firearms anyways? I can understand buying them, but why are you "moving" them?

Is the purpose flipping guns? What the hell did you buy it for if you were just gonna sell it anyways. I'm curious, thanks.

Maybe something better comes along. Maybe you don’t like a gun as much as you thought you would after shooting 300 rounds through it. I agree it’s better not to sell good guns, but sometimes a gun just doesn’t work out the way you expected and someone else might enjoy it more.

Case in point, I sold off a Taurus judge a few years back to correct my error in buying it in the first place. Need I say more? ��

No, not really. I can get that, but was is that bad you decided the functional firearm needed to go?

That's my question I guess....did the one you replaced it with surpass in volumes, the one you cast away?

Your logic is kind of skewed, Kowalski. Hopefully you question the motivation behind anyone who sells a vehicle or a house or a used television in the same manner.

Research shows 1 out of 4 people are clinically mentally ill. Keep to groups of 3 or less.

Also, take a look at your three best friends. If they seem pretty normal then guess which one of the four of you has the mental issues?

In the last 30 years I've bought and later sold hundreds of guns. Some I regret selling, most I don't. I buy and sell for a lot of reasons. Mostly, I like guns. I like trying out something different now and then. I also go through phases...like buying collector guns I never shoot. I used to do that a lot. I had some nice guns that were just sitting in the safe. I decided I'm no longer a collector. If I buy it, I'm gonna shoot it...eventually. Some guns I buy really appeal to me at the time I buy them, but don't so much over time. I'll sell guns to get new or different guns.

There are any number of reasons people might sell a gun. I have one gun in my safe that I've had for over 45 years...a Sears .410 single shot. My parents bought that for me when I was a kid. Other than that gun, I doubt I have more than 1 or 2 in my safe that I've had over 10 years. Take that out to 15 years and I know there's nothing (other than that .410) in there now that was in there 15 years ago.

When I left the PD in 2000 I had over 350 guns. I was able to finance my own business with those guns and that worked out pretty doggone good for me over 8 years.

Yeah, it might be skewed...but I'm different..peanut gallery will verify that.

I guess I don't look at firearms the same way as any other items including property or electronics. I have a few guns I don't really "like", but I choose not to get rid of them just for the sake of getting rid of them and buying another one in it's stead.

That was the point of my question in the first place. Ask a question, get some answers...and that's okay.

One out of four people can't wipe their ass properly....that, Sir, is a dangerous finger to be pointing at someone frivolously.

You?re obviously not alone in that. But for me (other than a couple of sentimental pieces) a firearm is just a thing that rolls off an assembly line and isn?t any different than a car, a motorcycle, a lawn mower, or whatever. Buy it, use it until you?re done with it, then pass it along to someone else who will use it.
