Invest in high cap mags

[Bull]

I was just thinking about this situation with the shooting of the Congresswoman, and the subsequent, and predictable call for more gun control. If some people would have invested in high capacity magazines, or any other "assault weapon" type items, they could make a killing right now, no pun intended, because they are probably all sold out everywhere. Forget the gains you could make on precious metals or any other type thing. Someone who bought a ton of this stuff when it was cheaper, or who buys a ton of it the next time it gets back to a decent price, would probably make a huge profit, selling it whenever the next "tragedy" occurs, and the left resumes their push to disarm Americans. I haven't even looked, but I'm willing to bet you can't find too many high capacity mags anywhere today. So, watcha think guys? Should weapons and there associated gear be looked at as not just a necessary prep item, but an investment vehicle. I have thought for a while it would be good to have extra everything for when the SHTF, so that you can trade and what not. But strictly as an investment for profit until then? Anybody have any thoughts. Maybe there are prohibitive legalities that come to mind right off or something.

The editor at Survival Blog has been saying that for years, that they will never be cheaper then they are today. If there is another AWB you could be very well right.

Ok let me throw in 2 cents here guys. Yesterday I went to a gunstore I frequent and he had jumped g17 mags $10 and had only 3 left. I went home got on cheaperthandirt and guess what all sold out. Went to another new gunstore, they had plenty of mags including 33rders. went back today with a buddy and all 33rd are gone (12 of them at $43 a piece)and only a few left of regular mags. Owner stated he sells 10 guns a day and was already up to 40 at5pm. I saw three more leave while i was there. We went home with 4 more mags. I actually was gonna buy 2 anyway which was I was looking to begin with but .......
