Frequently Asked Questions

Why are AR-15s currently so affordable?

AR-15 style rifles are experiencing a significant price drop due to fear surrounding potential assault weapons bans. This has led to a surplus and low demand, making them very affordable, with some models available in the $400-$500 range, unaffected by general inflation.

What historical precedents exist for firearm bans affecting prices?

Historically, legislation like the Clinton-era ban and Reagan-era NFA restrictions have often resulted in 'grandfathering' existing firearms, meaning owners could keep them. This suggests that current fears of confiscation might be overblown, impacting market prices.

Is now a good time to invest in an AR-15?

Based on current market trends and historical precedents, it appears to be a good time to invest in AR-15s. Prices are at historic lows, and the supply is abundant, driven by market fear rather than fundamental value depreciation.

What types of firearms are likely to be banned under proposed legislation?

Proposed assault weapons bans often target firearms with features like pistol grips and detachable magazines. Long guns such as bolt-action rifles and shotguns with fixed magazines are typically listed as acceptable, indicating a focus on specific cosmetic and functional characteristics.
