Let me just stop you there. Obviously you haven't read a single thing. I don't know how many times I must repeat the same thing over and over again. The guns price is there for a reason. It's a very good gun, not only that, but it's not meant for EVERYONE to have. Nobody is saying people have to pay $96 to get this gun. Nobody. That is what's moronic. That decision is THEIRS, not OURS. If you don't want to gun, just ignore it. Simple as that.
Also, newer guns prices won't be in the 250k price range. They will be at available prices. I'm sure new jobs will come out in the future or maybe just speeding up the process of making money with existing jobs. I don't see any reason why not.
