How many folks are buying for profit speculation as opposed to possession before any ban?

If I was in a position to buy, it would be for possession.

I'll just toss this in. Another member who is wiser than me pointed this out. Lets say a person was to buy an AK today. Lets say some sort of federal law is passed making the transfer of such item illegal. That person is essentially "stuck" with the AK as it has no value if it can't be sold. Same with magazines. What if those people stockpiling magazines could never legally sell them to another individual? Might not look like such a wise investment then.

This is the reason for FTF sales WITHOUT A BOS! My date of possession vs date of Law vs date of transfer is one that will fall on the fed's to decide.
One more item, no matter what happens in the congress and gets signed by O, Expect a long court case by the surpremes. UNLESS O and the dems wait for the 'smoke" so to speak clear. Congress is back in session, rattling of sabre's regarding GC. The ace up O's sleeve. he already knows a SC judge will be retiring. O appoints one of the more liberal judges then goes to town on the 2nd after he/she is sworn in.

Profit??? You mean you can make money off these things?

I hear that. I've lost money on nearly every transaction I've done. Usually overpay for something I REALLY want, take it to the range and try carrying it for a month and decide it is less than a perfect fit for me, then see something posted that I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO HAVE and sell my overpriced item for 30% less than I paid for it (throwing in ammo I bought for it and no longer need), then pay well over blue book value for the gun I think is PERFECT.

Shit, since I moved to Denver 5 years ago, if I kept track of all the money I lost on gun deals it would probably be enough to buy a really nice used car. However, my small gun collection is absolutely PERFECT. I'm never selling any of them unless I'm out of work again. The last two times I lost my job (due to company folding) selling off my gun collection was a welcome supplement to the measly unemployment benefits you get.

I hear that man. I am waaaay fickle as well and often do the exact same thing.
