I can't imagine that any shooter-collector would be anything but pleased to see an increased availability and decrease prices for any type of firearms. Someone fretting about the drop in their property's value to the point where it takes precedence over greater opportunities for ownership for themselves and others cannot be properly considered an enthusiast of firearms for study, shooting, and sport. Those people are just managing a portfolio of assets that might as well be financial stocks or widgets.

I'd gladly see my Uzi drop to $100 if new automatics could be imported and manufactured for sale to regular people.
