That's one of the things about guns - they're a durable good, and they don't exactly have planned obsolescence or deterioration like most consumer goods. Provided you take even the slightest bit of care of them, they last almost forever.
A good hunting rifle, shotgun, or pistol costs less than an iPhone...
- Kristine1975 11y agoBut you can always have more guns! In case the thug-booted jacks of the government come knocking at your door. Also maybe stricter gun-buying laws get passed, so better buy them now while you still can: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/12/10/us/gun-sales-terrorism-obama-restrictions.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/12/10/us/gun-sales-t...
- jessaustin 11y agoSorry we gun owners don't all conform to your fevered insecure stereotypes.
- Kristine1975 11y ago>insecure I'm not the one with ~50 firearms in the immediate family...
- jessaustin 11y agoI love it, that in your world, that's a reasonable retort rather than further confirmation of my point.
- Grishnakh 11y ago>A good hunting rifle, shotgun, or pistol costs less than an iPhone... Yes, because iPhones are overpriced crap. A much cheaper way to deal with your telecommunications needs is to get a good Android phone that's a couple years old. You can get a Samsung Galaxy S4 now for about $100, and they're still pretty current, the software is still updated, and they work just as well as some new $700 model. You're not going to get any kind of decent gun for $100.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoHm. A good Sig Sauer handgun is from $600 and up. So about the same?
- douche 11y agoSigs are kind of in that more luxurious class, like the iPhone, so that's not a bad comparison - although I happen to be right near the Sig factory, and so there are a lot of more inexpensive "used" Sigs on the market here, since the employees can use their discount and turn around and sell them second-hand to local sporting-goods shops at a profit...
