I get a chuckle every time this topic comes up. The same people that rant over government control (AWB), wanting to turn it around, and have some sort of control to prevent "gouging". Do you really want to open that can of worms, politicians deciding when, where and what firearms can be sold at what price... Oh wait, that's what we are all fighting against:banghead:.
You can't have it both ways Either you accept capitalism at it's best/worst, or you accept government contol over it for better/worse. Personally I don't want any more government intervention in my life. I have plenty now.
I absolutely abhor "Nannism". If the buyer wants the "fill in the blank" at x amount of dollars, then I say all power to him. I don't feel an overwelming need to go out and protect him. I figure he's a big boy, and can handle his own finances. The only people who get pissed off, are the ones that wanted the "fill in the blank" at last years prices, but didn't pony up the green when they had the chance. There are still enough decent deals out there, if someone spends the energy to go out and find them.
