I'm betting most of it is hype from the gun dealer and investors
themselves,
just like the recent real estate years. As such, there is going to be
disappointment gun investors soon as well.

If attempts at new gun laws miss their mark, which I suspect, a lot of
people investing now are going to loose money in even the short run. I
know
people that have committed as much as 150k to the purchase of assault
rifles
assuming they will soon be illegal. Many of them paying top dollar even
at
today's prices. I'm betting prices will hold for the next 10 years or
more
at best.

I think that I should sell one gun that I do not need.

Now is a good time to sell, that's for sure. There has been so much frenzied
buying lately that everything is in short supply. You should see the shelves
at my local Walmart's gun dept. They're empty. They've been empty for
several weeks too and the gun shows are doing great business too. What is
happening is the gun "bubble". The same thing that happened with stocks,
real estate, gasoline, and now guns and related components is happening
again. The outcome will also be similar. Once people figure out that they
went out and bought things they couldn't afford and that they have no real
need for the prices will plummet. So if you have anything to sell I'd say do
it now.

I am not bothered by the stupidity of the masses except that now there is
also a shortage of reloading components and there are virtually no primers
to be had right now and it's going to be a while before they are back in
stock. Without the primers you've got nothing. I wonder how many people have
figured that one out. Lucky for me I put some away because I haven't
forgotten the last time they were in short supply.
