    Is now the time to sell off big collections of weapons?

    I've been thinking lately prices are at a premium, who knows if the Senate will be held, I pretty much know if the Craps have total power what's going to happen in the SCOTUS and laws being written. I can only shoot one gun at a time with a couple backups if it comes down to the gov't raiding my home unconstitutionally.
    Might it be a good time to liquidate a vast collection and put it into metals or other investments, we won't be able to pass them on to our descendants IMO. Keep a few and cash in now on the rest? What do you guys say?

    I just sold, through a dealer, an MKA-1923 bullpup shotgun. I bought it, NIB, on a whim a year ago, and have not fired it, nor am I interested in firing it. I have other auto shoguns that I love shooting, so figured I don't need it.

    I sold it for what I bought it for and am happy. I have a few BP firearms I'd like to buy, so may spend the money on those.

    As far as getting rid of any more, I have no intention of selling anything else.

    If the Commucrat gov't comes to confiscate my guns, count me a dead man. I'll do my best to take as many with me as I can.

    No. Unless you are offered a great deal of money, no.

    Ive been trying to figure out HOW to charge panicking LIBERALS a ton of money on my over priced guns here for months. But CA makes it illegal to sell without an FFL. All the Brick and Mortar stores won't take my guns on consignment without taking 50% and I can't get in the door anyways. All the kitchen Dealers are gone (forced out of business in my region). CA has been prepping for this for years (making selling one's own personal guns a pain in the ass). I've been saving my entire collection for when I RETIRE and move to a gun friendly state (if there are any more left considering the evil Democrats and their plans for the NATION, not just California).

    Keep them, they will surely become great barter items in the great reset.

    I was always told not to use items for trade that can be used to kill you.

    When the SHTF, "legality" is irrelevant.

    Correct on both counts !

    My sentiments as well. There are some I know that deserve it too.
