I'll point out that if you get your information from the "corporate mainstream media" you are not going to hear much change in the antigun rhetoric. If you get your news from podcasters you may still feel it is fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants info. However, the very recent past may cure that to a great extent.
Even Joe Biden was for double-barreled shotguns.
It has already been said what position those quality guns hold so I will only add that feeding them is still a concern. Some can buy whatever they want while others need some element of practicality in their purchase. If someone would like a fine double gun from a past time but believes they won't be able to shoot it, that is a significant problem in collecting them.
