Will election affect gun prices?

Gore win, prices of all evil guns may skyrocket short term. Bush win, prices remain the same ?

Or do people think that the "bad news" is built into the market, and a Bush win actually deflates prices as people feel less pressure to buy while they can?

Or will a flood of "forced selling" by people in some states (ala California) push prices down for a while under Gore ?

Well, if Gore wins, then I see a steep upturn in firearms prices at some point in the next four years, at least on all semiautos and any long gun that holds more than two rounds. After all, things are always more expensive on the black market. :(

Are they ?

How much for a full-auto MP5 on the black market? Surely they are a lot less than the $12k-$15k that a registered one costs.
 
There are exceptions for prices that are artificially high due to government meddling. I know you know all this, but I gotta vent anyway... I feel a rant comin' on! ;) MP-5's don't cost that much. They're as common as dirt, and I'd be willing to bet that a medium sized order to any law enforcement agency or governmental purchaser goes for a per-unit price lower than what I payed for my SP89 back when they first came out. Yet because some law school grad with a hankering for free postage priviledges and junkets to see the plight of the worker in Aruba got a burr under his saddle about the possibility of voting for a firearms law package that, for once in our living memory, actually eased restrictions on gun ownership, we ended up with a couple of dumb little land mines in what should have been a legislative watershed event.

Just what in the sacred name of Gumby makes a machinegun made before a certain date a safe and reasonable thing for a duly authorized serf to posess, but the identical gun, produced all of one day later, is dangerous hardware; to be kept out of the hands of the proles no matter what and only issued to employees of The State?

Don't you hate it when they pass arbitrary rules for the sole purpose of reminding you who really works for who, no matter what your high school civics teacher may have said to the contrary?

If gore win's = most gun's will go up in price 50 buck's to a couple hundread.


If bush win's = h&k's, fal's, most ar-15's, galil's, valmet's etc. will stay about the same and will increase in price over
the year's.


Most a.k's and sks's will come down considerably.
The mak's have droped $150.00 in the
last couple of month's.


handgun's will remain about the same.


I would buy all the cheap ammo i could get
because it will be going up in price
regardless


Imho,

I don't think a Gore victory would change prices much but if the senate abd house fall into enemy hands my prices (if I hadn't lost them all it that horrible Gulf boating mishap ;)) would certainly increase.

Gore in office would be no more problem than Clinton with the same make-up in congress.

RKBA!
