Heartland Price Gouging

That's the thing Troy, the Manuf. and Distr. aren't, just the retailers.......for now. But how long will that last?
If the distr, see the retailers cleaning up, sooner or later they're going to want they're cut......then back to the manuf.
Then the true cost of a pmag WILL be 5x what it should be.

We didn't have widespread internet in 1994 for panic to spread so quickly!

Browmells has sold 3.5 YEARS of magazine stock in 72 hours.
I wonder how soon they'll be able to restock.

Do you? No way to know.
Meanwhile, Magpul/Pmag isn't selling to John Q Citizen, only to distributors AND THEY ARE OUT! Should we boycott them for leaving us hanging?

to correct what I meant...
As soon as the news broke a bunch of profiteers hit the web and retailers... bought up everything on the floor. Those guys are reaping the profits from the goofy people who "think they are gonna make some money"
If the truth was known... there will aways be a few people who squirrel away stuff like big mags and case lots of ammo... so they can make a few bucks down the road.

I've been squirreling away mags, ammo, and parts for several years now. I'm not selling any of it. Even if this panic passes, I doubt prices will stabilize to price levels before the sandy hook shooting. I see it as a good investment to buy what I can when I can afford it, not waiting until a panic hits and paying insane prices to dick heads price gouging. Dick heads. Noun. To be a dick. Used in a sentence: people who price gouge are dick heads. Lots of them right now. Heartland, h&h, pretty much everybody on M4Carbine.net, ar15.com, OSA, a bunch of online retailers. They won't be getting any of my money. But that's not likely to make a difference.

I am with you... a box or two here and there over the years... you end up with enough if you need it. In a week- when it all goes like it did... and this week we see the $100 P mag and $800 lower it's kinda hard not to grin and puke at the same time. I don't feel bad at all for the knee jerk jerks who are paying blood money prices for this stuff.

Those would be the retailers who were caught flat footed last time and couldn't get any ARs/mags/ammo from the distributors to put on their shelves. How easy was it to buy .380 in 2008? H&H would sell you ONE box, but you had to buy a .380 gun from them first.
The ones left with empty shelves last time decided to buy stock when it was available so they wouldn't have a repeat of '08
But who could've predicted the breadth and scope of this time?
HO is pretty much out of 9mm guns, having sold 3.5 months of revenue in one week. But if the shelves are still bare in 3 months, the bills still need to be paid.
This feeding frenzy will eventually pass, but it'll never be like it was.

Poop I gotta agree with DavidE on this one. I too was around in '94. Hell I even watched one of the House votes on live CSPAN. When the vote started it was the neys having it for quite awhile. Then the yeas slowly caught up and ended up a tie. Then that DICKHEAD Al Gore cast the tie breaking vote and after a little back and forth with the Senate the rest was history.
This time around my impression is the same as David's. There is a lot more emotion in this go-round and some of that emotion is coming from Congressmen/women. I don't recall that at anytime on any issue such as we have now, and I've been a political junkie for near 25 years. I would also add that this one is different in a different way. If you will look it up there was an election in 1994. They passed that "crime bill" very close to an election which is not the case this time. In my mind that makes this commission especially dangerous. Nearly 2 years will go by before we can clean house again. By that time, it will be out of the news cycle and long since gone from everyone's minds but those like us. When Congress doesn't get another purging do you think they will risk expanding it further?
Also this "commission" isn't like the normal ones that issue a report after their study. It's being headed up by the same asshat that largely wrote that little piece in '94. And I personally think that this commission is just going skip the "study" portion of the task and go straight to strategizing the what/how they are going to ram it through. I suspect it will include one repub so that they proclaim it "bypartisan", who will be promptly told when they go behind closed doors, to shut the hell up. If they do try to have input they will be ignored. Once they are done they will get it ready for a vote as fast as possible. It will be just like Pelosi saying "we have to pass it, so that we can see what's in it".
I pray that I am wrong on all of this, but I don't think I am. The dems in DC today are just the sort of scum that starts this **** before the blood of those children had even started to congeal. They will stop at nothing.

I heard that Biden said on one of the Sunday morning news shows that they're even considering capping mag capacity at FIVE rounds.
Anyone else hear that?

Even if he said it, and it wouldn't surprise me, it's to make him look like a prince when he "compromiises" at 10 rds.
The bigger point is, any new ban won't look much like the old one as so many people are predicting.

I had a long post written out but I don't want to derail the thread anymore than I already have. We can take this to PMs if you want.
Marijuana is illegal at the federal level, and not in the Constitution, but the libs have said WA and CO can legalize it for recreational use and nothing will be done.
States need to do the same thing for firearms, backed by the Constitution, and tell dear leader thanks for the precedent.

A friend just call me asking if I wanted his 10 windowed PMAGS (new in wrapper) for $30 ea. He called HO & that's what they'd pay. I told him thanks but I'll pass & that he should just hang on to them & not partake in this madness. I think he may take them to HO, but I hope not..........I advised him strongly against it.
