I don't see it as price gouging. An assault rifle, or whatever you wish to call it, is not a necessity. It's not something that you have to buy just to survive, like food and gasoline. I don't own an AR-15 and I haven't had the urge to suddenly go out and buy one. The people who are buying them now, are buying them because they want them, not because they need them.
I just find it funny when people gripe about high prices and call it "price gouging" as if it's a criminal act, yet they willingly pay those high and "unfair" prices. If you feel the price is too high, DON'T BUY IT!

Just curious... All this talk of price gouging almost makes me laugh, but it's really not very funny. Glad you were able to get your hands on a few.Where's the Wall Street pit for P-Mags?P-Mag futures?Settlement requirements?Delivery requirements?Can I hold P-Mags in an IRA?Do Govt-Issued P-Mags have higher value than the raw P-Mags?Are local dealers buying P-Mag scrap and melting it down and purifying for re-sale/re-use?Oh jeez. Your over "thinking" never ceases to amaze me! At least you're good for a laugh now and then.

Yeah, I do over-analyze sometimes.I am a believer in free markets, and we are talking about non-essential items here.What would you think if I drove up some backcountry road and saw you and your truck in a ditch, and offered to pull you out for $200?It's a long, cold walk back to town.....

I suspect if someone were to dig deep enough, they'd find several (mostly Democratic) politicians that own stock in firearms and ammunition companies...
