Supply and demand. LOTS of people want them right now - it's not gouging if you're charging what the market will bear. I'm sure that even at those prices, they can't keep them in stock.
So my question is what good is a ban going too be? These weapons will be around and functional for the next thousand years.
True, but the quantity would not increase. Therefore, it would presumably become harder for someone to acquire one because:
They will not be able to buy one from a dealer.
Private sellers would demand more money for them (presumably).
Personally, I don't think a ban is the best solution. I think they need better regulations as to who can own them and the conditions under which they are stored.
Burying a coffee can full of cash is a better investment than a municipal bond from California.
That depends on what kind of cash it is... Silver and gold cash, or cheap junk notes we use today which have no better value than common toilet paper. Pretty soon these will be Obama bucks.

So far all the shooters would be 'prohibited persons'....... All illegal for any number of reasons. Most in so called Gun Free Zones which works as good as blood in water to draw sharks.
For these very reasons no Democrat liberals should be able to propose LAW anymore.
They have proven to be over the past 50 years inept, and too Stupid to create LAW.
She wants them completely banned and confiscated, and that's what this proposal leads to.
Then if this comes to pass, you take a bunch of ATF Form 1's and re-register your affected items as SBR's. Same tax price, same fingerprint requirement, and documentation requirements. Totally resellable, inheritable since a legally transferable SBR has no requirement to actually be an SBR
She's obviously a moron and unfamiliar with what we have on the books, it took me 5 minutes to poke that hole.

I'm with you on that she's a moron, but *if* it passes as written, it will be law. It doesn't matter if it's more restrictive than what's already there. If the law states that this weapon or that weapon isn't transferable, then those weapons aren't transferable. It would take an act of congress - literally - to change that, or a successful challenge in the supreme court.
I was very concerned about a new AWB being passed after the Newtown incident. I still am, but not as much. This proposal is SO far out there, with SO many terrible restrictions, that I don't think it'll pass. Now maybe she wrote it that way so after all the negotiating is done and all the changes are made, she'll have something close to what she actually wants or believes can pass, but in its apparent (the bill hasn't been released, AFAIK) current form, I don't think it stands much of a chance.

I don't believe the non transferable part will get through. A ban, yes; this no. You have a huge 14th Amendment issue here. You purchased the firearm legally, now you cannot even leave it to your son (or daughter)? If such an issue passes, it will be a lawsuit and the US Supreme Court will be involved. Of course, Obama stacking the court in his favor won't help the issue either.
I just don't see how they can make a law saying I have to destroy something I legally purchased with no due process.

It's that way currently in California. Except you have three options. Being an California LEO I am suprised you dont know this.
1. turn it in
2. Sell it to an FFL with an Assault weapons permit
3. Remove from the state.
Also understand that RAW fall into two catagories
1. RAW's by having the three "deadly" charactaristics
2. RAW's specfied on the CalDOJ list.
