[QUOTE="Cue, post: 2045204, member: 1708"] I do not have a problem with people selling their ARs for an inflated price. What I have a problem with is people clearing out the shelves at the retail shops to turn around and sell it on here. We have done a decent job of keeping it off here. You can use your gold example but it is apples to oranges. Senator Feinstein has stated the previous AWB worked because it drove up the prices where everyday people can not afford to own them. Think about this for a minute here. Now picture this scenario. A family of 4 with an income of $45,000. A father would like to spend quality time with his children doing the things he did as a child. A family outing to a gun range is very fun to do. So he loads up his old heirloom rifles and pistols and heads down to a retail ammo store. He gets there right as they open to get the most out of his day at the range. However, some "dealer" "trying to stay in business" is there and cleans out the shelves. He then states that his shop will be selling this ammo at 4 to 5 times the price. The father now realizes that he can not afford to take his family to the gun range. Since he can no longer afford it, why should he bother with keeping the right to bear arms. He now is in the mid set that if he can no longer own and shoot firearms, why should anyone else. So when the time comes, he actively supports all gun control measures put in place. We have now lost a law abiding citizen that would support the right to bear arms to the bad guys that want to strip our rights. People that are doing the price gouging are now self fulfilling a gun ban prophecy. Also we are a community here. believe each and every one of you is my family. Family has fights but they will also come to the defense of the family. I would never price gouge my family. If I was going to price gouge, there are plenty of national forums where I can do that if I choose. [/QUOTE]
