Before the 2012 presidential election, gun dealer Jami Nolan maxed out credit cards and took out a home-equity loan to order over 250,000+ semi-auto rifles (AR's).

Maybe he got a volume discount;^)
I call BS too.
That is kind of steep. Maybe it’s a typo and they meant, $250,000 worth of ARs, which is more like what sorts of loans businesses (or, people mortgaging their houses) can easily get.
You’re probably right but the poster of this thread chose not to address anyones concerns and I’m not about to sign up at that website to get the answers.
I picked up another in December for about that (lucky find at a pawn shop). That model is going for 2K on Gun Broker now, not that I’m going to sell it.
The ones who made the real mint are the guys who had several Class IIIs before the 86 ban. A gun that went for $500 before the ban can sell for $25K now.
Off another forum re the same subject:
The estimated total produced by the top 10 manufacturers was just under 275,000 in 2010 the last year for which production totals are available. and just under 300,000 for 2009. If anyone believes one person was able to buy over 80% of the total production for the year, they are delusional.
At an early FReeper get together, I was offering FReepers AK’s NIB for
$399. They were $545 retail. I was able to give away more than a dozen that weekend. To date, nobodies ever brought up that sale. When the AWB was only a twinkle in DiFi’s Husbands eye’s we bought low and sold high. We still have AK’s NIB, but they’re not $399 anymore!
This story smell of smelly BS, Cow Manure, Dog Shit, Cat Shit, and what gets pooped in the toilet.
