Has nothing to do with it. IF some ban was about to go into effect in CA, they'd keep right on buying.
The reason the market has completely died is (ironically enough) that Trump is in office and he is a firm defender of the 2A. With the looming threat of Obama/Hillary banning everything gone, nobody is freaking out about the supply drying up so nobody is motivated to go out and buy guns.
Couple that with the amazing amount of over-saturation that has already taken place over the last few years and you aren't going to have a whole lot of demand in the market anymore.
Besides hardcore gun nuts and the few libs who think Trump is gonna have death squads rounding them up soon, very few people are buying ARs.Unless we keep the barbarian virtues, gaining the civilized ones will be of little avail.

Not a lot of people are excited about buying a featureless AR right now to add to their other 12 they bought last year.
Also, the AR platform (now, in CA) just doesn't offer that much that other rifles can't do just as well or better. Why buy a Ferrari just to debadge it, detune it, run 87 octane gas in it, and put 14 inch hubcaps on the wheels, when you can buy a perfectly good Honda that was actually designed to be those things. There's mag-locked, but again, nobody is really excited about that.
Also, as others mentioned, the firearms market as a whole is in a bit of a slump right now. Even unfired Glock 43s are fetching less than 50% over msrp here in CA, when not long ago they were over $1500. Ammo prices are probably lower right now than we'll ever see again. And you can even buy as much 22lr as you could ever want online for 6 or 7 cents a round.Last edited by CandG; 02-01-2017, 11:35 PM.Comment

Why would you sell something that might be very difficult to acquire again? Especially if you registered it before the 1stsigpic

Yep, as evidenced by the fact that while local stores have had low inventory, online availability has been plentiful and cheap.
During the '13 panic, you couldn't even find anything online. I remember paying almost $600 for a set of 3 no-name 80% lowers on GunBroker
Some people were paying $2500+ for M&P15's

Don't forget $100 PMAGs and 556 for a $1 a round.
And as I post this, another sale email from PA.Comment

Maybe I am too new to the market but it does not seem very buyer to me. Maybe I am not driving far away from sf but I am seeing featureless ar around 1k, lowers around 150. I go on Reddit gun deals and see sport II for 500 and it makes me annoyed. I want an ar, figured I will let the craze die down but it seems to not cooled down.

You just need to find better shops. There's plenty of inexpensive AR stuff out there. Here's a post for $750 CA-compliant ARs in southern CA. Not that Turner's is necessarily a "better shop", but it is proof that those prices exist.
In your area, try Tracy Rifle and Pistol.---------------------

"It is currently CA legal to modify a double-action revolver into a single-action revolver and modify a single-action revolver into a double-action revolver.
CA DOJ BOF stance on modifying handguns only applies to dimensionally compliant bolt-action single-shot pistols and dimensionally compliant break-open single-shot pistols.
^It does not apply to revolvers, manually operated repeating pistols, and semi-auto pistols." ~~ QuietComment

It's a buyer's market if you're talking about used guns. I've purchased 4 this year so far, 3 used and 1 new.Comment
