I'm seeing a problem/issue/opportunity (whatever) here.

There seems to be a lot of folk getting older and we have NOT had a lot of kids (maybe because we heeded 'over population' scares---but that's a separate issue) and those kids and grandkids aren't very interested in shooting. I'm in this boat as mine are not interested in my guns.

There's another thread here:
Best way to sell low-value guns
https://thefiringline.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=617049

That kind of illustrates the 'problem' too.

I just wonder in another 10 years or so if it won't be a 'buyers' market' for used/rare/collectible or even just 'interesting' firearms.

Anybody out there with a time machine that could go up and check this prediction out for me?
