One down 2 to go and my thoughts are just a matter of time until she rolls on the other 2.

Say what you want about the owners and store, but in the end it affects us all when scumbags fuck shit up for a Mom & Pop business.

Damn Gabe.. good to see you are alive.

Well, after their intentional price gouging during AND after the panic, I'm not feeling sorry for them. But I agree that criminals stealing firearms is obviously bad, so I hope the other parties get caught and punished to the full extent of the law.

I don't believe in Unicorns or knomes and "price gouging" falls in the same category.

Gnomes.

Here's the deal. As a capitalist, I understand that it's their prerogative to ask whatever price they want. People paid it. And basic economics says that if they didn't raise their prices, they'd sell out of their goods too quickly, be unable to acquire more, and be left without a revenue stream; plenty of demand with no supply to drive the business. I'm all on board at this point.

What I have a problem with is the market rate hovering right around 80 cents/round at its highest point, with everyone else able to stay in business and try their best to meet demand while OD Green was literally charging $1.40/round for the same munitions. A 57% disparity is cause for alarm, and although it is their prerogative, it's also mine to call them price gouging shills. As a bonus, the one time I bought something from them, a 20-something who was literally wearing a plate carrier with armor behind the counter had a very audible outburst about wanting to kill an annoying vendor. He was identifying himself as Sergeant X; United States Marine Corps. The consummate professional.

No tears here.

Were people being forced to buy it?

ETA: Thank you for the spelling correction.

No, and that's not my point of contention. Price gouging is not defined by, or predicated upon, being forced to buy something. That's called communism. It's the intentional and purpose-driven act of charging exorbitant prices for goods. I suppose that if the people buy it, the demand is there at that price. So I can't condemn them as a lover of all things laissez-faire. But I can condemn it as a principle and code of integrity.
