The gun market is stuck

This means that buyers need to take their time and carefully consider their choices because of all limitations.

Add to this the general decline in disposable middle class income in the EU, which is generally wiping out the middle class altogether. That is the main cause of the stuck markets in the EU.

Those who had a bit of money to play with in the past are now in survival mode, struggling to make ends meet.

Exactly, Vlim seems to know what is really happening here, where, because of time passing by, and younger generations having less money in their pockets, the number of fireams collectors seem sadly to fade away.
