I sometimes swim upstream against the prevailing current, but I actually LIKE my 'black guns'....
Warm and fuzzy.... give me leverguns
Nostalgia and history.... give me leverguns
Living off-the-land and hunting.... give me leverguns
but
Fun and Loud - give me a Garand and some 30-06 ball ammo
Even more fun and loud - make it an M1A Scout Rifle
Easy for petite and young shooters to enjoy the 'fun and loud' - an AR or Mini-14
Rebellious and almost as fun (but less accurate) - an AK semiauto
and
if I really want to crank the shooting up to 'rock and roll' standards, let me borrow a friend's full-auto whatever....
As for "selling all my black guns" .....

the ones that survived that boating-accident in Lake Michigan I plan to spray-paint PINK, so they will be politically-correct....
