I think machine guns will totally outperform the stock market. But I think as far as investments go, 'best of class' investments perform the best, whether it be stocks, bonds, art, guns, classic cars, baseball cards (pfffft), memorabilia, or antiques.

In ten years, I fully expect my m16a2, with all original parts, not an AR conversion, to be worth $50-100,000.

But if NFA gets repealed, investment will be work zero because who would want a 40 year old m16 when they can get a brand new factory m16, freshly made.

Another possibility, I just thought of this, is if every state bans NFA items like NY or California. That'd be trouble.
