OK, snowrip, you have a great point there.

What if? Just what if this depression gets so severe, regular people are forced to liquidate personal property including guns and ammo just to pay bills?

Could this selling provide a great buying opportunity for those patient enough to WAIT?

Yes! And those of us who have a lot of firearms already will be out their adding to our collections. Trust me on this: The correct number of firearms to own is always equal to (N + 1) where N = the currently owned number.

Sure. If you assume demand will stagnant. However, if we get to your severe "depression", the last thing folks will do is sell guns and ammo to "pay bills". The only bill they'll be worried about at that point is the mortgage. And Osama is seeing to it that folks won't have to worry about even that. They won't care if Macys doesn't get paid.

A severe depression will cause demand to skyrocket much more than you are currently seeing, so you'll be paying ever higher prices for a dwindling commodity.

So, go ahead and wait for your fire sale. Those of us buying now thank you for not buying now and driving prices higher than they already are.
