Selling my Ar

There's quite a few that say "just keep it", but no reason why. Keep it for what? I don't use it as home self-defense. I have 4 handguns for that. I haven't shot it in 2 years. I bought it just for coyote hunting. That's why it has the Nikon scope on it and bi-pod. Still haven't decided whether I even want to sell it yet. But I am curious as to why you think I should keep it.

Thanks for the replys
 
Why to make sure '' A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state '' thats why i want one and will keep it .

The first reply has the reason. If another AWB goes through like the first one, you will be restricted, if even allowed, to buy an AR like the one you have.
 
If you need a specific reason to not sell a gun, then it doesn't really matter. Cash in and take advantage of the panic. Sounds like that is really what you are fishing for. I guess that is the true face of this country now, taking advantage of horrible situations and the resulting sheep stampede.

Believe me, I am keeping tabs of the gouging. There are some stand up folks out there sticking with their prices and supporting the shooting community. Those are the ones who will get my money going forward.

WOW, HPW that sounds pretty harsh. You really think I'm trying to take advantage of a bad situation? I guess I'll just be honest as to why I really want to get rid of it. I don't need anything that relates to the violence this year. I don't need this gun. But there are some folks who love these type of guns. That's their choice, and I don't condemn them for it. About ten years ago I didn't care to much for these guns (ARs). Saw no need for them at all. BUT, times change. I did a lot of reading when I decided on trying coyote hunting. I thought that this would be the best gun for what I wanted. I don't go to a range and start peelin off 100s of rounds. I'm still on my first box of ammo. Obviously coyote hunting wasn't that great. I prefer bird hunting more then any type of hunting.

If supply and demand is there, or not there in this case, why shouldn't I get premium money if I sell it? Should I just give it away? Is that what you would do? Probably not. I guess if I was as self-righteous as you want people to believe you are I guess I would sell one of the hottest guns on the market today at a loss.

Have a Merry Christmas
 
I know you need another opinion like you need a hole in your head. BUT here is mine. I have some tools in the tool box that I have never used, some furiture in a room I don't use, have a perfectly good pair of boots I've never worn/used. All this stuff might just come in handy one of these days. You never know.Just because something is not needed or used at this time doesn't mean it won't be needed later on. Consider it an investment. ThomasR
 
I think that what HPW was saying, is if you are looking for a reason NOT to sell the gun, especially coming from another individual, than your mind is already made up to sell the weapon. Honestly, if I had more than one AR, and there was a particular one I didnt use....you bet your rear end I will be selling it right now!!! I bought my first AR just a couple months ago from a guy on GB.com. He had some other guns for sale, all of which were selling for around 900 bucks. Just a few minutes ago, I looked at his listings....all the same guns are now selling for nearly 3,000 dollars!!!! Why not sell the gun right now!?!?! Personally, I have one AR, and there is NO WAY I am getting rid of it.....premium or not!!! I agree with ThomasR...consider it an investment!!!

As manufacturers increase their pricing, so must distributors in order to stay in business. You simply cannot keep prices what they were when you now have to pay more than that to get the items to sell.
 
Don't feel bad for getting as much for your rifle as you can. It's a free market and someone will willingly pay your price if they want it.

I don't feel bad for dealers making as much money as they can. This buying frenzy is going to cannibalize gun sales for the next several years, they're just trying to make a living. They don't know if they'll ever get a chance to replace this inventory before it becomes restricted. It would be stupid not to maximize their ROI.

Anyone who didn't see this coming and prepare ahead of time, deserves to pay todays going prices. It's not like this is the first or even second time this sales surge has happened before (We had the great ban of '94, primer scare a couple years later, Y2k panic, ammo shortage in 2006, Obama election of 2008 and now this). We've all had plenty of time to stock up when prices were good.

Have a Merry Christmas The first part of your post that I quoted speaks of the quisling-type mentality that will eventually divide and conquer all of us. Attributing any degree of culpability to the device used falls right into the Left's position that people are not responsible for their own actions and that a rifle can induce someone to commit evil acts. If you want to symbolically disassociate yourself from something murderous, stop patronizing your doctor. Doctors (abortionists) kill more kids each year than guns ever could. Your doctor never killed any kids you say? Neither did your rifle.
Even worse, you see a distinction between those that want to own semiauto rifles and yourself and believe that, since you're not into those types of guns, you're fine. The PTB do not want you to have your shotguns, either. What do you think they will demonize next after they're done with semiauto rifles? Remember, we stand together or hang separately.

On the other hand, you make a perfectly valid capitalist argument in the second part of your post. That rifle is your property. The American populace (The "Militia" mentioned in the U.S. Constitution), armed with rifles like yours, has served as a serious deterrrent to the the left that has allowed us to retain the degree of property rights we still have. You have every right in the world, for now, to do whatever you please with that rifle.

Merry Christmas to you and yours

That list just killed my Xmas spirit! LOL. I'm keeping my ARs, I don't truly need em right now, but I might need then soon when it comes time to defend the rest of my rifles. All jokes aside, if it's payed for, and you have a shotgun that works now. Why not save your money (and the AR) and just wait a bit longer on the new scatter gun. If you regret it, wait a year or two, some other panic will sweep across the nation and you can make even more selling it then.
