I have to agree with what many have said. If you believe in capitalism and free enterprise then those that can buy low and sell high are abiding by the principals of free enterprise. Price gouging (IMO) can really only be an accurate accusation when the items that are being sold are essential for existence. Water, Food, maybe gas and electricity...things that would put someone in the street or threaten their existence. If you don't like it that ammo has tripled in the past month don't buy any. None of us will cease to exist without it. In fact the people that buy .233 ammo at $1.00 a round or a $500 handgun at $700 just fuel or validate the high prices. If no one bought 1 P-Mag at $60 then the price would come down. It is truly supply and demand.
You cannot have it both ways...endorse capitalism/ free enterprise, and then belly ache when supply drives prices up.
