Gunflation

    As a child I was taught the concept of inflation with this analogy:

    If Joe has 1000 oranges and you really really want one how much would you pay? If Joe has 1 orange and you really really want it how much would you be willing to pay?

    I never forgot the story of the guy with oranges that “I really really wanted”. Anyway, here is a modified version of the story:

    If Joe has 1000 SCAR 16s rifles and you really really want one how much would you pay? If Joe has 1 SCAR 16s rifle and you really really want it how much would you be willing to pay? Answer: $9500

    Michael Bane commented that while the SCAR is cool, 10 AR-15s are a much better!

    I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!
