Hey drawl, Has anyone ever told you, that you are a total douchebag?
u don't NEED one, so why buy it at a bad time, price wise, hmm? There's millions and milllions of such rifles, and not 1000 guys are ever going to put up a FIGHT with one, so there's plenty to go around. There's far smarter, more effective ways of resisting tyrants, that dont require any gun at all, or at most, a ccw pistol might be useful, if you are wearing concealed armor and have AP ammo for that pistol, and if you are TRULY skilled/fast with it. Otherwise, you will just be shot down at the sigth of your having a gun, any gun.
the dog that barks loudest is a dumbass.
Just sayin'.
You were trying to protect the purity of a Internet forum? The fact that you admitted you are selling a AR at the current rate destroys any credibility of your "old fashioned" ways.
If you were dying of thirst and he charged you $1,000 for a glass of water that would make HIM unethical.
If you buy an AR at an inflated market price that just makes YOU a dumbass.
Bottom line: If you don't think its a fair value then don't buy it.
