When someone comes in and wants an abortion , they should give them a pistol and one bullet.

Don't tell the bitter old farts that on this board. They think everyone from somewhere other than being birthed out of Jeff Cooper's butthole is trying to take things away from them. There's a good amount of those that are that way but there are others who WANT to be here because of this reason.

This is the perfect time to chat with your gunshy / liberal neighbor about how they "feel" and offer to take them out shooting and offer them tips.

This is the one right that shouldn't be up for debate. We need to encourage them all the while keeping our schadenfreude to a minimum.

Make sure you take him out to the range and desert. Give him better guns that make sense to him.

Dude could have easily bought a Ruger AR, Glock 19 and an 870 and would have had all the bases covered for about 1500 bucks.

The only person I know who could run a Saiga like a sewing machine was glockmonger.

Despite all the panic gun buying going on, it seems like the supply of guns is good in general, especially relative to the supply of ammo. Ammo prices seem to have about doubled over the past couple of months, but firearms dont seem to have gone up nearly that much.

The suppply for new guns seems pretty good. The prices are much better than used guns. People seem to be digging deep into their safe looking for anything to sell at an inflated price.

Yeah I had a friend who went out and panic bought an AR (BCM lower and a Aero precision upper with aero parts) for close to 900. Then his wife told him he couldn't keep it in the house (super simp behavior) and wanted me to buy it for 400 cash and my XDs mod 2. Told him to go sell that to a bernie bro who is stupid to take you up on such an offer.

I can build the exact AR I want for less than 600 bucks right now.

I'm shocked at the price of common handguns on Gunbroker. I may need to sell some Tupperware...

I dunno, those 870 express new will set you back $1200...

I always wonder if stuff is really selling for that? I have a bunch of stuff I just don't shoot or care about anymore. I don't even care to make a profit but to not lose any money would be pretty nice.
