    So... if the Roster went away in two weeks...

    ...how big a $$$ hit would your collection take?

    All of a sudden you can order all the G43s or 9mm 1911s online your little heart desires. Joe Schmoe in Arkansas can send that older S&W right to your FFL no problemo.

    My accumulation is pretty modest but I've seen real collections that would take a pretty massive dump $$$-wise.

    People actually sell their guns?

    I'd have to buy a couple nice ones to keep the net value the same.

        Oh, I'd probably take a substantial hit but that would be just fine by me. I didn't buy for investment. I actually thought Pena would prevail but I just kept right on going in case it failed. Glad I did. Were I buying for investmeny , I might have backed off.

        In the unlikely event Pena wins on appeal, and my collection takes a hit, I'll be a very happy camper.

          I dont get the question. But i do know that if there was no roster the rest of the country would hate us even more as we would suck up every pistol we could get our grubby hands on.

            are you saying price that we paid vs national value, not a huge difference.

            or current market value in CA vs national value? (unrealized losses)

                Doesn't matter to me because I don't sell guns, only buy. I don't have any off roster guns that would drop value, just a few without LCI and MDS.

                My wallet would take a big hit though.

                  I don't buy "off roster" guns so I'm good, besides nothing in Texas is off roster.

                    I managed to get decent deals on SSEs, did not overpay, and will not overpay.
                    Regardless, I have not sold a handgun, and don't think I ever would.

                      If you guys had to choose, we can either get rid of the silly roster, OR get rid of mag limits/BB, what would you choose? Personally the bullet button and mag limit piss me off more than anything.

                        Well, me too, but I already have all the handguns I will ever need.

                            If the roster was gone, why would I be in a rush to purchase? :P

                              BB do not hinder/bother me so much. I'll go roster.
