Back in September I was selling an AR15 and AK47 for $750 each, I bought the AK in 2005 for $400, and the AR I received through a trade worth about $500 in 2008.

Now, simply due to politics, the same rifles are selling for near or over $1,000. I checked prices last night on gunbroker.com.

If Obama passes a "ban" of any sort, I might get $1500, or a lot more, per rifle.

How many other investments have that high of ROI?

This is why prohibitions don't work - *just think about Marijuana* - The price is inflated, but it doesn't curve demand nor stop the market. Even if the private sale of one of my rifles were to become illegal, I would still sale it, as I've bought and sold marijuana.

This gun ban is going to make me rich. I'm actually getting excited.
