After years of being threatened with becoming "unlawful" and then potentially... of being confiscated, where is the market for the "nicer" firearms going next? Clearly, individual states will still have their own mandates (New York & California come to mind and I don't see them changing anytime soon) but without the big, overarching Federal programs threatening the 2nd Amendment, where are we now?
The liability of doing business in the firearms industry, of being "debanked" and ultimately having your FFL rescinded by some zealot seems to be much diminished now. Where does that leave us?
I'm not expecting a new "flowering" of interest in these old guns because, in many ways...the world has moved-on to other concerns. But I wouldn't be surprised to see perhaps a few "new" faces in the game now. If you can purchase something (arguably expensive) that won't become a "liability" overnight or at least won't become that someday in the near-term, I would think that the long term "chill" that has descended upon much of the firearms market will dissipate. I clearly don't have a crystal ball here but I would think that lots of attitudes will be changing as we go forward.
