If the NRA really wanted everyone to own a gun they should do summat about the prices, can't get anything decent for under $400.

Check gun shows and buy used from individuals.

There used to be some excellent deals on Italian knock offs of some great guns in that price range.

Depends on what you want. You can still get a Ruger 10-22 or a Mossberg 12 ga pump for under $400 new. Buddy of mine bought a Rock Island .45 ACP (1911 clone) for under 4 new. Pretty decent weapon. Lots of good deals used.

But the prices of guns are going up. The values of my Python and Diamondback have more than doubled, and my MAK 90 has tripled or quadrupled.

But I get it!!!

Besides, the NRA doesn't care if everyone owns a gun. They just want every law abiding citizen to be able to own one, since they already have the right under the 2nd Amendment.

And the NRA would be the first to tell anyone who is uncomfortable with a firearm, or is not willing to invest the time to become competent with it, that they would be better off without one. They are very big on gun safety.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Nowhere does the second say that every law abiding citizen has the right ......

The NRA only cares about the profits made from gun sales and rallies the support of gun enthusiasts in any manner they can to this end.

So, you are a spokesman for the NRA? ;)
