Should I Buy AR-15?
I am not a licensed financial counselor, and please don’t read this “Should I Buy AR-15?”article as advice.
This article was originally published in December 2012.
I invite you to engage in a thought process with me. You might find some conclusions for yourself and your family that could be of use to you.
- Do you think black Semi-Auto rifles will be made illegal to manufacture/transfer to civilians in the US by 2022?
- Do you think that detachable magazines that hold more than 10 rounds will be made illegal to manufacture by 2022?
- Look at what civilian disarmament advocates are pushing for. A source describing what types of infringements on gun ownership are desired: New Your Times (2015)
- Do you think North America will be more peaceful or less peaceful during the next 50 years than in the past?
- Why are two almost identical .223 rifles, with only $50 in parts and an hours worth of labor separating them, currently valued $11,000+ apart? (in 2015 $20k apart)
- Should I Buy AR-15?
OK, regardless of what your answers were to the above, here goes another set:
- Do you think that when an item becomes scarce and more desirable it becomes more valuable?
- Do you think that there will be a great demand for tools with which one can protect their family?
- Do guns hold their value pretty well, especially if kept in their factory box and never used?
- A dollar in 1914 is worth 2 cents today. The most respected source for economic statistics and many economists anticipate inflation and perhaps even hyper-inflation. http://www.shadowstats.com/
- $1000 today is worth $1000. What do you think it will be worth in 2022?
- An average AR-15 costs about $800-$1000. What do you think it will be worth in 2022, 2030 & 2050?
- $100 today will but six 30-round AR-15 magazines. What will they likely be worth in the years to come?
- Should I Buy AR-15?
Recommendations regarding “Should I Buy AR-15?” Oh, I have none. It would be illegal for me to give financial advice without a government-approved license.
