Milsurps / Prohib SKS price

Just got my first gun and it was a Chinese SKS paid 850. Did I get ripped off?

Personally, I'd like to see retailers Jack the price of the SKS up to 1500, so when the government bans them, everybody who owns one can claim the government owes them fair market value, even though the vast majority of us bought them at 10% of that 10 years ago lmao

Nobody is getting any money back…

I didn't claim anyone was actually going to get any money back, but there will be more public push back from both sides.

Gun owners will be pissed they aren't getting fair market value, and the public will be pissed because they think the governments will actually pay for them

The SKS is here to stay forever...

The last thing the Gov wants is a bunch of far North Indigenious people being peeved about taking their guns. So get used to the SKS.... its here to stay.

Unless the govt makes an exemption for the Indigenous and ban it for everyone else.
