The good news is that his parents are fine with him learning but neither has any idea about guns whatsoever. I will absolutely turn him on to THR. I'm sure there is a range where he can go and learn at least about hanguns and how to learn safety and shoot. If he wants to learn about rifles then...

Luckily I was raised in a family that used guns. I learned how to shoot, clean, hunt etc...from my father first hand. That said, I have a nephew(17) that lives in another state whos family has NO idea about guns. Long story short, he is very interested in learning about guns. Since there is no...

Sam1911----fine, let's play semantics. Let's say a generator then. Certainly not life or death--more of a luxury while power is out 1 week. Are you still 1 of those buying 10 at $200 and then selling for $1000 each? How about a store owner who sees a hurricane coming and raises gas prices $2 per...

Sam1911----it's 1 extreme or the other with you----no middle ground huh? Charities:rolleyes:. There is a huge void between greed and charity. You seem to think going from a 20% profit to 200% profit is not greedy. I believe differently. I think you would be 1 of those people selling water for...

Most of the blame goes to the retailers, but not all. While I agree with you about the guy in line paying more, that doesn't take the sellers off the hook. The olny economics they are dealing in is greed. As far as AR makers closing their doors--no that would fall to the local gun store owners...

They WERE profitable last time too...and then they weren't. We can learn alot from history. It's not the "raising" of prices that bothers me----based on their model of business costs will rise. Again, pass on those costs to the consumer and maintain a reasonable profit margin---not pass on...

2. I'm not talking about anticipating Sandy Hook per se. The fact is most people(at least here) had the sense 4 years ago or more recently to start getting the guns and ammo they wanted knowing this day was coming. This day meaning Obama's 2nd term and a shooting leading into another AWB. Again...

Sam1911...Really, Sandy Hook? I hope you aren t being serious? You know exactly what I mean. Most people here had the foresight 4 years ago to knpw another AWB under Obama would be coming. Many started buying the guns and ammo they wanted ahead of time. Doesn t seem the memo reached sme...

As a quite successful business owner, I think I know economics pretty well. ;) I think your definition is different then mine though. You want it both ways for the gun and ammo industry. Sell for triple when "opportunity" knocks but they should also be able to gripe when the market gets flooded...

1. I submit to you that the great majority in price increase by the maufactureres is NOT due to extra shifts and OT. I have no problem with increases with demand and expenses as you said but not to overkill the profit. If you had a profit margin of 20% and keep the same percentage after expenses...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you seriously trying to tell me that their profit margin has stayed the same and the increase is simply due to added expenses? The same guns they were selling for $650 are now triple or more at $1800-$2000! If they simply passed on the added cost to the consumer to their...

Easy fix----maintain the lower cost of selling the new guns instead of raising them during this nonsense. That way, when the flood(and there will be) of used guns hitting the market at cheap prices hits the consumer can then buy a used gun or a new gun at the same price! Which would you choose...
