o.n. - I'd say that you're not surprised because you're interpreting things poorly. Like, your description doesn't really get down to the root of either of these pieces. They just follow the frame that you guys chose, and then freaked out about. And now you can't think of anything else!
I realize there's more to it, Rom... The problem I have with this piece is the prominent placing of the guns in this article. With Matt, we have more than enough one-trick counter-troll for the paper. Sarah actually has a bit of writing talent; she doesn't need to go down that dead end.
Without the picture and headlines of guns, I wouldn't have clicked on it. I'm sure she's trying to pass on good information, but the first step is getting someone to read the article.
news flash, NE 82nd is where you find retards drooling over guns, well that and meth. I went in there once and it's by far the dirtiest pawn shop in portland. look at the people that work there...... it's like that place only hires sex offenders of something. Then at one point the guy offered to sell me a Bass cab for half of what it was priced at, but the catch was i'd have to pay cash so is boss would know.. Oh and another thing is, i wouldn't call a person a gun expert cause they works at a place like that. fucking ridiculous
Please, please, please don't follow the "Well, I was an idiot and people paid attention to me; repeat ad finitum" path that Matt's chosen.
I'm wondering about that pinball machine...

Scary!
I agree with the comments from obligatory...
Just remember, it was exactly this type of thinking that has created every single bubble in history. Anything can depreciate in value.
