Sure, some guns appreciate considerably in value through the years. However, firearms are not investments. I don't care if some gun you picked up 20 years ago for $300 is now worth $800. Do the math, it's around 5% ROI. All those folks that stocked up on AK/ARs in '08/'09 lost their shirts - if investing was their primary objective.

Firearms are meant to be enjoyed not to be acquired for investment purposes. If you want solid investments, stick to the old tried and true - stocks, precious metals, real estate <<<--- yes, RE - even in this crappy market. If you gots the cash - buy condos for 20% of what they were worth 5 years ago and rent 'em out.
