Gun Prices are Killing Me

FredwardGun Prices are Killing Me
They keep dropping and I keep finding great bargains. A mail order house sells an AR 15 kit for 300 bucks (total, 269 for the kit and 29 for the stripped receiver.) My local shop dumped Beretta apx 9mm full size for 404. 9mm ammo for 7.99 a box, free shipping on a case. It goes on and on. My safe and ammo closet (okay, it's a room now with overflowing) are bulging.
I truly gotta stop.

sns3guppyI just picked up another P320, because I couldn't pass up the bargain, and when I picked it up today, there was a G48 marked "used" for less than 400 bucks, without a visible scratch or mark on it. It went on layaway.
At this rate I should be divorced by July.

LS1 GTOI’m sure there’s a 12 step program out there somewhere.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My office looks like something from an episode of "Hoarders". I've been on a moratorium for about six months, but couldn't pass up a Kel Tec PMR30 for $293. And of course a 2000 round case of Maxi-Mags for $320.
Not that I need any, but is there brass 9mm for $8/box with free shipping? Best I've seen currently is $8.50.

There sure is, but buying 78 guns... and 12 at once at the end... I nearly got a hernia carrying them inside.

No desire or need at all, but I could not have resisted that one.

It isn't going to last. Eventually it will stop and reverse. I think we have another year until election drama starts, but if Trump wins in 2020 we have another 4.
But eventually it will stop.

I don't care for DAK's but as you said I couldn't pass on that one.
