I've been told I'm already revolting...
If some of those poor guys sold some of their old revolvers they'd have the $$$ to buy nice new ones...

Goodie! I like that idea. Ammo stamps for Daddy, powder stamps for Mommy and brass and primer stamps for baby Mookie and Pookie. Its for the children, you know. No one must ever be deprived again.

Thanks Onomea. That nine minutes really straightened me out. I got lost driving in Oakland the other day and drove past those rioters and I guess the smell of urine, feces and petula oil messed up my head. This was the most perfect concise explanation of the fundamentals of what creates economic growth I've ever heard. This guy is great. I don't want that rich guy's pre model 27 now.

Just think what we would feel like today if we had bought more guns back in the 50's to 80's. All the model 19's for $180 and all the model 27's for a couple hundred. Buying a gun a month for 25 yrs would have allowed the ownership of over 300 classic guns by todays standards.
If we could have only seen into the future.
Maybe we should be doing that now since the future for guns maybe worse.

With my luck if I did that then pigs would fly and the Kalifornistan "not unsafe" roster would go away. My investment would go right in the ter-let.
Be worth it tho!

Rioters make fun targets.
Wait. I'm confused. I've got a pre model 27. Does that mean I'm rich? Or is it just THAT rich guys you want?

Good start, but why not let the Gov. run the firearms Ind., sell the Gov made guns on the market at a loss, so we can all buy them, and then tax all non Gov. sales at 300% (for ex that pre 27) to fund the whole thing.... What's not to like here, provides job's guns and is self funding.... somebody give me a drum.....

What's not to like? I don't want no solar powered "green" guns. And I don't want GM makin' my guns. They haven't made guns since WW2 and all those carbines.

Ironically... the number one reason cited by people who don't have a gun as to "why" they don't is... cost. They simply can't afford it.
Subsidized guns have actually been available for years, partly because of this. The various incarnations of the DCM/CMP - remember them? - while privatized now, the original idea was to subisidize the arming of America on the theory that all would benefit. (The same as free schooling benefits society by having a literate population.) It was felt, especially after the two world wars, that having a population with rifle (in particular) experience would be a good thing. Only narrowly was mandatory military education not put into schools after WW2 (the Army really wanted it). If that had taken place instead of gymn class you'd have learned how to camo up, low crawl and take apart a rifle.
Members of the military still enjoy subsidized firearms purchases. The exchange offers take home layaway for E-3 and above. You put a few dollars down, take your gun home, and then pay the rest off over the following months with no interest. Glocks and some brands are also sold at special prices on base -below normal market rate.
