Dino, my first reaction was like yours thinking people are price gouging but looking with a eye toward economics points that the system is working.
The way markets work low demand goods costs less and high demand cost more and producers will make more of high demand goods in response.
The stock market works this way. Would you be angry that a stock you invested in went up 300%? How about if it fell 50%?
Supply and demand works to efficiently price goods in a free market.
But Dang! Prices are crazy right now!
I could see 30 to 35 bucks for a box, but 55 is out of realm of reality. It's not like the demand is high that the asking price is justified. I mean how many 6 ARC guns are out their needing feeding that bad. And ammo is out their, I have three shops within a 20 min drive from me with it on the shelf. The most expensive is 29.99 a box of 20, and it has been on the shelves for a little while now.
If you can not see the tyranny of having a gun ban enforced by men with guns... Then you fail to understand why the second amendment was written in the first place.
