People like you and I are a dying breed. We won't be around much longer. In 20 years, our collectible, vintage, blued and wood guns (Colt revolvers, Pre-64 Winchesters, etc.) will be worth pennies on the dollar simply due to changing consumer preference that values plastic, tactical aesthetics (ARs and Glocks). This is reflected in the guns being offered for sale. Sellers and manufacturers are simply trying to meet market demand.
Hate to say it, but I think you are right.People like you and I are a dying breed. We won't be around much longer.

Never been to a gun show.
With all the reports of ho-hum items and high dollar prices, I think I’ll continue to pass.
Stay safe.
I wouldn't be quick to say that the continued popularity of the black guns is a sign of the time but the reason to own one has not changed and that is to be able to defend yourself in your own home and in public. Only a citizen can own a firearm the rest are subjects of the government. I personally am not a fan of plastic but the right to own and defend yourself at least for now is still a right.Hate to say it, but I think you are right.
And I hate to say that I think this preference for the plastic, tactical aesthetics (ARs and Glocks) will Eventually lead to the downfall of the 2nd amendment. You walk into a gun store and all you see are the walls lined with black tactical ( Assault rifles to many people ). Add that to the growing gun violence. Add that to the number people carrying open in public. Add that to a (so called) news media and politicians that has learned that preaching Hate, Greed and Envy draws attention, $, And votes.
I really don't see a very bright future for the 2nd amendment.
