We just had probably the longest general election in history...two years in duration. The general consensus after the 2006 midterm election was more defeat for conservatism in 2008. The two choices for the "opposition" party all along were always known to be virulent anti-gunners. So everyone waited until AFTER the last election to start buying ammo and guns? "A wise man sees danger coming and prepares for it." It's like all the unprepared people here in South Florida who watch non-stop TV reports for 10 days of an impending hurricane and do nothing. Then you see the angry multitude standing in line the next day waiting for ice and gasoline rhetorically asking "Where's FEMA at?!?"
The angry folks here who for whatever reason didn't prepare are now berating their fellows that did. You complain of price gouging. You think your distributors and retailers are paying the same price for their inventory as before? As has been said here a thousand times already it's supply and demand. I would like to see these same indignant people sell their cars or houses or used guns for less than they are worth. "Oh I don't think my house is worth $200,000. I only paid $100,000 so that's what I'll sell it for."
