As nicely stated by someone else a few pages back, the inflated prices as of late was not due to "capitalism" but was in fact a side effect of legislation creating a scare that we were going to lose the right to own and bear certain types of arms which lead a lot of people to go out and buy everything that they could. Its like our good friend Don, he clims to only sell guns because he loves to sell guns. But the truth is he sells guns to turn a profit. Plain and simple and if it were up to him, he would push all other LGS's out of business and charge even more then he already over-charges. But the government does not allow that. So thankfully we have other GOOD LGS's that offer good products ad fair prices.
Of course Don wants to turn a profit. ITs his business. Its his livelihood. Say whatever you want about his politics, but accusing him of being in business to make money is just plain stupid.
Legislation didn't create a scare. The possibility of legislation created a scare. An outside force influencing the market. This is part and parcel of capitalism as I gave an example previously. Besides which claiming that the legislature created bad market conditions does nothing to enhance your pro-regulation argument.
Lastly, market factors (ie the ability to buy guns reasonably priced at other vendors) prevent Don from taking over the world, not the government. Show me the legislation/regulation that keeps little Dons from popping up all over the place and forcing us to buy guns an inflated prices please!
