    Why I believe it is kind Sir:}

    Thank you for your support.... Glad your shopping Mom & Pop

    U D Greatest:}

    Oh I'm not shopping mom and pop, I'm selling as mom and pop. The profits I'm making are so obscene it makes me wonder who is dumb enough to suggest to others they should shop mom and pop. People like that are a clear argument humanity is slowly devolving back into cave men.

    I feel for the people in the guns and ammo business. They may be looking for other work in the not so distant future. I can understand them trying to make as much as they can while they can. I will not pay thoes prices YET but if we don't get this Nation back on track we may not have a choice but to be at the mercy of the few that have the supply. It does get a bit old to see the shooting community as soon as something happens start to tear apart instead of coming together. The libs are probably laughing their butts off at whats going on.

    Thank you and I am. It's good to know that I'm one of the few remaining free market capitalists in south east louisiana. It's scary to think of how many staunch republicans were so easily swayed by such a small incident. Maybe sandy hook was an Obama conspiracy, he set up the shooting in order to create a minimal disturbance in supply, converting millions to the socialist party. It is brilliant, 20 million new socialists stolen from the profiteering Republican Party.

    What a coincidence I was going to ask you to do the same. DS727, don't be honest with the derps, people might take your truthful statements as trolling.

    All I'm saying is that I plan to let others know about Aimsurplus.com, Palmettostatearmory.com and others websites so they don't have to pay 65 bucks for a 12 dollar pmag as well as others items.

    You know none of those places have anything in stock right?

    I know, but its a risk I'll take. Worst case scenario I'll ask you to hook me up with some of your new political party members. They'll help me get the most out of my injuries.

    You obviously don't know me. I am not a Republican or Democrat. My approach to business is long term. I'm in the 3% of wage earners. By the time I retire it will be 1%. Why? Because I treat people right. You should take a clue.

    The current Republican Party is a joke. I have been a registered republican since I was 18. (I'm 45)

    What we have is Liberal, and Liberal lite.

    I'm forced to support these GOP morons in DC because there isn't an alternative.

    I guess we will see if the GOP caves on gun control like they did on the so called fiscal cliff.

    All kidding aside.........

    The way you guys just attacked a fellow conservative, and gun owner just because I don't think people getting ripped off at a gun show is right...

    We are doomed.

    I lived and worked in Washington DC, and I can tell you....these people are united.

    You guys can take that for what its worth. Anyone who knows that area, knows what I'm talking about.

    Anyway, sorry for the dupe post.

    You weren't too clear. Do you support the profiteers or reject them?

    I find it odd that you are such a successful business man, who is so opposed to the free market system. It is perplexing.

    PSA had uppers today, and yesterday. Briefly, but they had them.

    Aim had pmags early last week. You have to watch the sites because they get bought up quick.

    Considering that is the case, do you think it is reasonable to assume people are paying these inflated prices to not have to spend their time scouring the internet waiting on items to come back in stock, or to not wait on the long backorder lines?

    One thing many are not taking into account. These dealers are having a difficult time getting any firearms, mags, etc. to sell. This may be a hobby to you, but this business of selling firearms and related merchandise is all many of them have. Yes, the prices are high because the supply is low. They must make a living some how. What happens when they don't have any firearms to sell? I'll tell you. They don't have any income and will close their doors. I gave my dealer four ak's to sell since they didn't have much to put on the table at the Kenner show. I've got plenty because I bought mine when prices were low. I had not planned on selling them, but they had to have something to sell to keep their place at the show. When they can get firearms from their distributors they have to pay more. You don't have to buy from these dealers. You can wait and see what happens. Word from the SHOT Show is that most of the prices will remain high even if this crap blows over.
