I consider myself as a average American as far as my economic standing our household income is around $60,000. We have 3 paid of vehicles our house has been paid off for around 20 years we have been married for almost 35, and I am 54. I did not start accumulating firearms until the house was paid for. At present I have around 60 with only 3 being "modern" a AR15, Ruger LCP, and Springfield xd-9 the rest are 40 years old or older. I have sold quite a few throughout the years when they no longer suited me. I know more than a few guys who NEVER sell a gun. I suspect in the coming few years lots of nice guns are going to come on the market as aging firearms collectors sell off collections or at their passing their kids do. Most of the younger crowd could care less about the older firearms, and are only interested in the latest greatest plastic firearms. As others have stated the older stuff is still around in gun safes, and closets across America.
