Doesn't look like a +25% panic price increase. I think I paid $20 for a used 33rd jamster during the summer.

Now, find some quotes of some right wing politicos, and juxtapose them against what they said about the NYC ISlamic Center.

I don't know if this is a case of milking the situation, but I stopped yesterday at the Gender Mountain in St. Augustine and I couldn't believe the prices. All the guns were so overpriced, it is ridiculous. For example, Bersa Thunder .380 duotone, just like one I'm selling for $250 at GM is $499!
Biggest shock was Glock magazines. For example G23, 13-round mag had price label of $45!!!!! And all those labels were red! I don't know exactly why. To give buyers a false feeling that they were more and now at clearance? Or to indicate that is an item that's going out soon? In any case I thought that price is insane.

And Bud's has the same model for $254.00. I doubt any price gouging laws would apply to handguns as they are not considered essentials. Normal price here is $275 to $325.

If this had been done with a Ford F650 Superduper Duty with an Extended high capacity cab, and a car show was happening 13 MILES AWAY, would this discussion even happen?
