[QUOTE="Yojinbo, post: 2036296, member: 756"] I saw a lot of replies that I missed while typing. I don't expect us to all be angles here, but an American has an obligation to understand and support free markets. Free markets have up and down cycles. Calling the up "Bad" and the down "Good" because we might be consumers is a super-small way to look at the world. I do try and sell stocks when they are up (I wish I was better at this) and I buy when they are down. A shrewd farmer does this with fuel, fertilizer, etc but then (if it rains) he is on the other end when he sells gain and livestock. I realize some of us are many generations removed from the soil but have we fallen so far that we cannot abide an upward movement in prices without calling for controls? Some of you have talked about selling. At these prices if I had extra guns that I do not shoot I would think about it too. Taking profit on what we own does not make us profiteers. It's a sellers market as some people have posted in other threads. (hint, hint: sell something). The act of us turning lose our inventory (at ANY price) will address some of the "flash in the pan" temporary demand and right the ship. If this is a "temporary bump" selling more stuff will help it to be over all the quicker. No one has a Right to cheap ARs. We all have a right to buy and sell (or not) at ANY price we choose. Let's not tread on someone else's real rights in order to support our imaginary right to unlimited cheap lowers, mags and ammo. EDIT: OH! Kelly is not owner of OSA anymore: I am sorry Mr. Books for not keeping up on current events. [/QUOTE]
