If you think the market isn't rigged

Too many people are talking like this from all sides... mind if I stop by if/when this pops off? I'll need some hardware.

I have a subterranean gun locker now. I was renting high security storage but decided to build it out. It's in the old house and adjacent to the master bdrm. It's dry and would take days to violate due to all of the rebar being grade 75. I don't recall the grade of the concrete but it's immensely strong. The rebar took almost a year to source.

Wife balked at the price and inconvenience so I auctioned my two transferable MP5s (Fleming sears on Navy guns; select-fire) and it was almost zero net outlay. It will cost another $10-$15K to finish.

While I miss my MP5s they are an anachronism. Good suppressor host but poor for optics and bad terminal ballistics. A select-fire AR lower is 1/4 the cost and allows for a subsonic 10" barreled 300 BLK upper with equal sound suppression and far better terminal ballistics (than +p 9mm) and a Spitzer bullet (ballistic coefficient). Supersonic still benefits from suppression and has better terminal ballistics than 5.56 out to 150m.

Most of my collection sans the MP5s and my new additions; 3x Mk18s, M249S Paratrooper model in FDE and my select-fire AR lowers: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/guns.323979/

That's called short economic cycles and that's okey that they exist. That's not conspiracy by the government or business people. The Fed is simply forced to respond to market downturns. That's not what the Fed is doing on purpose. Many business people are aware of cycles and are trying to be ahead of the curve.
