[QUOTE="Belthos, post: 2110328, member: 24944"] I'm talking about a marketplace where people are free to sell their property as they see fit subject only to finding a willing buyer. Obama is talking about government regulation to strip us of our freedoms. Somehow you conflate those into being related. That is sad. Obama would tax guns and ammunition beyond the ability of people to buy them, that's a blatant violation of the 2nd amendment. If you want to pass a law forbidding people from selling guns and ammunition for too much money, that's just another variety of tyranny where you strip them of property rights without just compensation. If the free market prices guns and ammunition too highly then their competition is free to undercut their price and steal their customers, that is capitalism. Three men buy three identical AR15's one paid $500 3 years ago, one paid $1000 1 year ago, and the final one paid $2100 1 month ago. Explain to me what difference the price they paid makes to current value, when each one is asking you to buy their rifle? If the going rate for an identical gun is now $1200 is the person who made $700 a worse person than the one who made $200? Maybe you feel the guy that lost $900 when he sold you his gun is in some way a better person. If the gun is now worth $1200 it's worth $1200, the price they paid for it does not affect it's current value. :rtfm::fullauto::angry3:finally Please don't compare me to obama, thems fightin words.
