I live in Norman, but I had to go to Midwest City today. On the way back I passed Gun World and decided to stop in. They had a bunch of ammo, but OMG the price! I asked if they had some .22 Thunderbolts and they had quite a lot. Then I saw the price, $129 for a box of 500. I used to get those at Walmart for $20! That is price gouging! This is crazy.

It's not gouging when that's their regular price.....

I'd swear that place is a front for the Mafia or something.

That's typical of Gunworld. Crazy high mark up in their prices. Taking advantage the gullible IMO.

It’s not uncommon for companies to charge replacement cost pricing for inventory already in their warehouses. Especially in times like these all companies meed as much profit as they can find since there are major holes in their revenue streams. It’s called operating like a business if your costs (from all of your suppliers double overnight and you are sitting in your warehouse full of product) you get to raise your price. You would be a full not too in this situation. The free market will shake it all out in the long run.

We'd best pray that we will have a long run ahead of us ...

We've got some good things to fight for. Freedom. Family. Home and hearth. All that those who would enslave us have is greed, arrogance, and pretense.
