i think they have been excellent investment, if bought right.
i do know this, the price appreciation on a whole bunch of guns has gone way up.
a model 28 smith maybe 200bucks some years ago, try getting one for that now.
as to the younger generation, had a four year old out couple of months ago, with help he fired a .22rifle, then a sig p320, then an ar15.
then he went in the gun room to pick out the ones he felt belonged to him.
he was pretty much on target, not realizing there was stuff set aside for him.
