You have to be careful about people who ask full retail for used firearms. They are often taking advantage of the fact that some people cannot legally buy a new firearm.

That may be the case sometimes, but I think it's more likely on account of the widespread notion that guns are an "investment" and therefore don't lose much if any value on account of being used. The classic example of why people believe that sort of thing is the SKS. There was a time when you could get a Chinese SKS for $60 and a Russian one for $80, but these days they're more like $250 and $350 respectively. The person selling maybe just doesn't realize that it doesn't always work that way with any gun, either that, or they realize it and hope that the would-be buyers don't.
 
"The one I get a kick out of is that P.O.S. guns are FUN (sometimes MORE fun than a decent gun), like they LIKE dinking around with the gun (just to try to make it function correctly) instead of shooting it. Then you see the same guy posting said "FUN GUN" with some bubba'd mods (sometimes making it unsafe to use) up for sale, stating they just couldn't get it to work right. DUH!! That's why they are considered P.O.S. guns. "

-I have one of those POS guns. Did a couple minor tweaks, and it runs fine with high velocity .22. Lol. Regular .22 it hiccups... but many .22 pistols are ammo picky... P22, Mosquito. Though I have noticed that the Buckmark isn't, and the Ruger isn't supposed to be. Lol.

I hate seeing retail pricing, or even above retail pricing on used guns. Anything used, if currently on the market, is going to sell for less than list price. Now, if you bought an older surplus gun a few years ago... I would say that it has most likely appreciated in value.

Gun snobbery generally bothers me. Those who hold the idea that if it isn't LMT, Noveske, Weatherby, etc. etc. etc. it's junk. If a machine is built well, and within manufacturer's specs... it's GOING to run, mechanically, it has no choice.

My favorite: 1911s are unreliable, and Glocks are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I don't suppose one could argue that they are both fine platforms (having owned both), and that it is really a matter of taste and comfort that dictate which you prefer?
 
"shotgun is the ultimate home defense. just racking the action will scare away anyone in your house."

+1 I was at a BBQ with non-gun owners and the guy used a shotgun application on his iphone to "rack the slide" on his nonexistent shotgun as a theft deterrent for would-be burglars. He later admitted to having some sort of rifle at his father's house, but no ammo.
 
"Obama is a socialist/communist."

Cheeze, he's from HARVARD LAW SCHOOL! And he has spent the last two years desperately trying to keep the big Wall Street banks and the Big Three automakers from going out of business. Even his big health care reform protects the income of the filthy rich drug manufacturers and health insurance companies. If he was a socialist he would not be risking his career protecting fat-cat capitalists!..............................elsullo :cool:

:nuts:

Best funny quote I've heard right there ^^.

Yes, they lack any concept of reality having replaced reason with a steady diet of Limpball rear end squeezings, something they declare a delicacy beyond any need to make a coherent argument. What could be funnier than that, volunteer full time human clowns.
 
Once had a member of a different forum berate me, including throwing in tons of personal insults, because I questioned his recommendation of a CZ-82 for someone who was in the market for a pocket pistol.

I never said it was a bad gun, or a poor choice of a concealed carry gun, just that being an all-steel gun military surplus with a double-stack magazine (weighing in at over 2 pounds when fully loaded), it really didn't lend itself to pocket carry.
 
"This holster is so comfortable, I forget I'm carrying my gun!" I can just hear the cops talking over the dead body of someone wearing one of those holsters. "I don't understand. The gun is still holstered and the magazine is full. He could have easily defended himself in this situation. Say! Isn't that one of those _____ holsters? I hear they're so comfortable you can actuallly forget your wearing your gun!"
