Let's face it, most of us cannot buy as many guns as we really want, and a lot of people including the government probably think we are either radical survivalists, or at least gun freaks that just can't get enough firepower. Some may even see it as an addiction, and most just do not understand.
Actually it is my opinion that guns are a good investment, not a great investment but they do hold their value and some show appreciation depending on whats going on in the news. Look at what happened to semi auto assult rifles after Sandy Hook, they almost doubled in value. And look what happened in general when Obama decided to go after gun control. If a person could have seen that coming, a lot of money could have been made on that whole scenario.
Well then theres SHTF. When and if an nation wide SHTF event ever strikes, there is just no telling how much gun prices will rise, in fact, in that case, some will simply pay as much as it takes to get the guns they want and need. I honestly think investing just for SHTF is not a good investment because you would be basing it on an event that may never happen, and if it does you dont have a clue when it well come.
But generally speaking, I think guns will hold their value and if you buy them at a reasonable price, you at least will never lose money on them. Sometimes I think they will hold their value far better than the American dollar!
There is also the investment aspect that owning guns could save you and your familys life, and no price can be placed on that.
So, do you view your guns as an investment, or do you just look at them as a collectible that you can't get enough of?
