    Default Capitalism at its Finest

    So I started a AR pistol build before all the madness began and was short one lower receiver. Come to find out that Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo in Parker has two Spikes stripped lower receivers for only $750.00 EACH !!!! I decided to decline their very generous offer but if your in a pinch and need a lower receiver check these guys out. Great prices, and the smiles are free.

    Shouldn't have waited. Who's fault is it really?

    your fault for taking so long to build it. You act like people were not saying this was going to happen.

    It makes me shake my head reading all the whining and sniveling people are doing about this. So let's say <insert gun shop name here> was selling their lowers at $150 and the pmags at $15 a piece. They only get a couple of each in every other month like everyone else. Because <insert name of any "gouger" you have seen> was in the store when the shipment rolled in he buys it. Then he sits in the parking lot the day his background check clears and posts that $150 lower and $15 pmag for $450 and $45on armslist. I would say the gun shop missed out on an opportunity to make money, since they're the ones that had it initially.

    I think this sums up my middle school civics class.

    Moral of the story: wahh.

    If true, I bet the incessant whining and bitching couldn't hold a candle to the last month.

    You guys crack me up!! So you see a lower for $750.00 and think HMMM that seems reasonable. I did get a lower for 330.00 which did seem reasonable given the current circumstances

    Seriously how hard is this concept? I mean you can only use so many small words before you are unable to explain a concept.

    You no want buy, no buy.

    There. That easy enough to understand?

    ETA: Oops, sorry forgot to get to the real issue of your post. The title and your OP suggest you are not a fan of capitalism? Please, comrade, enlighten us to a way that is better then our current system.
