Im spending less on everything. Fewer gun purchases. No overseas vacations. No new car. Less sushi. I dont shoot as much either. I would like to pick up a few more guns but, so what if prices fall 25% if your income falls 30%?

I will not resume normal spending until the business climate improves and I get back to 2008 income. The recession seems intractable in my industry.

The black gun market has me baffled. The stuff looks boring and overpriced but, I cant completely dismiss the inclinations of that many consumers. Maybe they know something I don't.
