[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 2057282, member: 10690"] I spoke with a really good friend of mine today that works in a gun shop. They haven't gone up on their prices, not a dime. They are out of everything though, and he said it has been just a few guys that have been cleaning them out every time they walk in. He said the owner was pretty close to banning them from the store, because he feels it's them, and people like them, that are fueling this panic. One guy has spent over $80,000 on ammo alone, and is turning right around and listing it on the internet at a 500% mark up. Why would a true gun guy, that cared about our 2nd amendment rights do something like that? He's not doing anything except lining his pocket at the expense of others in the gun community. In the end, it's the buyers of their goods at those inflated prices that bear a lot of the blame. If people would just stop paying those insane prices, these guys would be stuck with this stuff, and have to figure another way to fleece sheep. I'm not trying to buy anything, except a couple of Shields, and I'm not in a hurry, and I can wait, so I'm not upset because I really want anything, but I just can't believe people are acting this way. It's nutzz. It would just never occur to me to try and line my pockets because of an event like this. I guess I'm stupid that way. [/QUOTE]
