    I think when Colt announced to the public that they would not be selling to the public it became a, "I better get one now" move. I've seen similar things with sports autographs on ebay the day after the player dies.

    People late to the game don't know about Colt and people who understand the difference aren't gonna be late to the game. There are dozens and dozens of Brand X rifles out there that sell for far less than "ban era" Colts.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    The PP's remark about banning loaded rifles in your vehicle had its start with antipoaching laws is likely right.
    Some gun laws make a whisper of sense if you can ever figure out what problem the authors thot' they were solving.

    Yes I’m quite sure concerns about poaching are behind those laws in Maine, we historically have a bit of a poaching problem in this state. Lately however the prohibition on loaded rifles in vehicles has been repurposed as an important safety measure to protect law enforcement personnel, because playing the “protect cops” card was a common tactic among the anti-gunners in this state.
