Dang it, you got me there. Long time since I've been gun shopping and it already was an expensive and time consuming hobby then! 100% of the ones I foolishly lost in a tragic boating accident so long ago were inherited.
Everything, like everything I guess, is ridiculous now. Ammo is inflated but at least it's way better than it was in 2020-ish.
Ah, good catch about the carbines. That's pretty popular these days! KelTec is a bit nicer. Mostly polymer, really interesting designs, but I'm not sure about their longevity reputation. They don't just make "Another AR-15...but slightly different!" over and over, so I think they're neat in that regard.
Sheesh! Also not cheap though! You're right. Anybody needs a rifle's gotta set aside a couple grand. Even used, unless they get lucky.
Yeah. Everything is all kinda crazy.
The usual suspects hoarded all the arms and then went down rabbit holes towards becoming mall-ninja LARPing lackies for a fascist regime. The wealth inequality chasm widened, and most non-conservatives were busy convincing themselves guns were scary and unnecessary instead of taking responsibility and educating themselves and their communities.
Whelp....
.... There's always 3D printing lol. XD
I sincerely and truthfully hope as a nation we can do a complete heel turn without having to gravely consider protecting ourselves in this manner, though.
I think if self defense weren't so one-sided, we might be seeing more of a reflection of the old adage: "An armed society is a polite society."
I think the best route for anybody looking to buy right now is an SKS. They're still, relatively, inexpensive, 7.62mmx39mm is a good intermediate cartridge and ammo is still, again relatively, inexpensive.
I with you on this. I got rid of my AK back around the time Sandy Hook happened because it made me sick to my stomach to look at it but I didn't get rid of all my firearms because I'm a believer in having one and not needing it rather than needing one and not having it. Now I'm looking to add a long gun to my collection and I'm considering something like the SKS or other 5-10 round semi-automatic in an intermediate or full powered cartridge because I didn't figure on potentially needing something for armored targets.
