Ok we all know how this world is brutal and prices on our 2nd Amendment are ridiculously rocketing up and down. One of our most purchased and popular rifles is the AR 15. We know prices can get as low as $350 all the way up to $10,000…. Some people think you gotta have this thousand dollar AR with thousands of dollars worth of optics to be the best shooter in the world…. It’s quite ridiculous and we all know it!!!! You can build one, you can buy one… But I want to get down to the nitty gritty and address the elephant in the room and be completely honest with each other and admit our good ole government is causing the prices to fluctuate so crazily that it’s making me sick. They use school shootings, mass shootings, and anything that goes boom to spread panic… They claim that they are going to start banning this, they are gonna start banning that, then they threaten to put such high taxes on our sporting rifles that everyone goes into an absolute panic and boom the prices skyrocket… Ammo starts flying off the shelves so fast you would think the gun stores didn’t care or didn’t order enough product because they didn’t care.. The market starts booming for a few months and people start posting these $350-$500 AR15’s for $1500+ and expect to get that much.. It’s ridiculous needless to say and we are only making them richer… It dies down and the prices drop because nobody is paying these outrageous prices.. people start posting questions like “man I don’t get it, they aren’t even interested in paying over triple for what that rifle or ammo costs…”. But that’s not the worst part either. People bad mouth Palmetto State Armory and say you need a Daniel Defense or Knights Armament… The sad part is if you bought both AR15’s at the same time and stripped them down you would be surprised that both rifles are coming from the same factory and same distributors and they just slapped different logos on them before they shipped them out… They are sourced from most of the same companies and we are just getting duped into thinking we will be shooting more accurate because we spent a few thousand dollars… They play us against each other. Go look on BayouShooter or LA Spotsman and you will see some Palmetto rifles for $1500 or trade for a Sticatto or a vehicle… It’s getting out of hand. And let’s not talk about all the scammers on LA Sportsman… Anyone have any feedback on this topic?
