My gun collection...

Not really. As long as the '86 law is still in effect, full autos will only appreciate in value.

Assuming that you're purchasing a gun for protection, which now that I think of it-might not be the reason my most of you have more than one gun, you can buy some thing in the hundred-dollar price range. A gun that cost 10k will cost 10k on property damage in and probably hit others that you didn't intend to (assuming that you use that type of gun on the street which is most likely illegal right?).

If it's a hobby for you then I guess it's justifiable, but personally speaking, saving up to spend 10k on a gun that you will only use several times a year isn't cost effective. How much would it appreciate anyway? If your reason for purchase is investment you might as well invest that money in something else. Remember my statement though, you shouldn't have to "save up" for that you should already have ample funds available to purchase something like that.


oh and since you know about guns mind telling me why Jaimie's first gun Reminded me of TMNT?

A. If you legally own it, shooting it "on the street" like you would have to with any other semi-auto gun would not be illegal (assuming that you were shooting it legally in a self-defense situation).

B. People save money up to buy houses, right? Stocks? Bonds? Other investments that apreciate, yes? Not everyone buys a house to "live" in, either. What if you just buy land? The good thing about buying a gun for an investment is that you DO NOT have to pay capital gains tax when you sell them as the sell is a private sale. If I bought 10 MP5s for $5k each and sold them for $20k each 10 years later, I would profit $150,000 and keep all of that money. A house could do the same on the most part, but you can't do that with stocks and bonds.

Please let me know if you ever stumble upon a deal like that. I'll get my Class 3 paperwork taken care of and buy 10 with you!

That was back in '95...I was talking about buying them for investments. They were 4-5k back in '95. They are 16-21k now.
