but how about the impact of collecting on the gun market? E.g., by pushing the prices up?


HD,

You'll need to define the guns being collected. I think you'll see in the US, normal 12gauge "collectable" guns aren't going up and there were plenty of them made. A lot of guns would need to come off the market to drive up the prices.

If it is a high grade or rare gun, then prices could go up. It is supply/demand.
