the fever...
I recently sold a number of firearms online over the last couple of months (started before that nutjob in Connecticut got loose). I had considered selling my Kel-Tec .308 bullpup (would have gotten quite a bit for it), but realized that I could forget getting another for quite awhile. Glad I held onto it. It is amazing the rise in prices on semi-automatic longarms and the ammunition has just gone absolutely berserk. Good thing I set up to reload a couple of years ago.
I hope I am wrong, but something tells me this is going to get ugly before the dust really settles.
Let me tell you guys something. I am a Democrat. I became one shortly after my stay in the Desert. Because of both, I am very much on the Second Amendment [as many, if not all, of you are]. Not because I dig firearms (I hardly discharge my weapons, although I do conceal carry and practice handling my pistol), but because without that right, we are vulnerable to a government that will do anything to get credit for safeguarding the population. They see us (both Republicans & Democrats in office) as children not knowing how to take care of ourselves. Do not be fooled - both parties want an unarmed populace.
