“I honestly dont think the Democrats are that stupid. I could see them phasing out the deduction based on income. If they do away with the deduction (and Roth IRAs), I think Ill start investing in antique cars. I have two Chevys (63 and 64). I saw in an investment magazines that muscle cars were second only to art as investments over the last 20 or so years.”
I think guns are a great investment. Every gun I own has gone up in value over time.
In 1999 I found an S&W 686+ w/4 inch barrel on sale for $437 in an El Cajon gun shop. The MSRP today is $999. That one has thousands of rounds down the barrel, so it isn't even close to an NIB price. Not so with most of my other purchases. They have appreciated and each has inherent value and utility. Not just some expensive bling in a box.
