You mean like the price of drugs? Or alcohol during prohibition?

I think you're confused.

Or like the price of a machine gun?

As you well know, TAM, machine guns are not outlawed (at least not ALL of them), merely highly regulated and taxed.

Well isn't that what DiFi's bill is proposing to do to the AR15? You'll be required to register them as a Class III weapon, and no more can be manufactured or imported. Then your $800 AR is now worth $8000.00.

And "fair compensation" is going up rapidly. Maybe there is a good side to price gouging.

Your idea of fair compensation and the goberment's idea are radically different.

If you're dead doesn't ownership become somewhat of a moot question?

It is still part of your estate, which you paid for and accumulated, and you ought to have the legal right to pass it along to your heirs, just like with a car or a house. If her law passes, I could sell all of my guns to my son for $1 before it takes effect, and then borrow them back.
