[QUOTE="Lightsluvr, post: 2038205, member: 25808"] I guess I don't understand all the irritated bowels complaining about "price gouging". According to Wikipedia, "As of 2008, thirty-four states in the United States have enacted laws against price-gouging. Price-gouging is often defined in terms of three criteria listed below:[5] Period of Emergency: The majority of laws apply only to price shifts during a time of disaster. Necessary items: [B]Most laws apply exclusively to items which are essential to survival.[/B] Price ceilings: Laws limit the maximum price that can be charged for given goods." Despite our doomsday protestations, I don't see how a Ruger 10/22 being offered for sale on the public market fits the definition of price gouging. Profiteering, maybe... but the buyer doesn't [U]have[/U] to purchase guns or ammo at the inflated prices! I exercise the option to shake my head and walk away. LL [/QUOTE]
