Controlling run-away prices of guns and gear.When buying guns, parts and gear, w

If you think guns are expensive, try owning an airplane. Ten gallons an hour at 6.50 a gallon for a single engine. Used to go across the Delaware for lunch, one hour back and forth. $65 bucks for fuel, and then I had to actually BUY my lunch. They don't call them $100 hamburger runs for nothing. Bottom line, if you don't like the $$numbers$$, find another hobby.

Yep...we have one of those, too.

You have my sympathies. ;D

Stool, the vendor i'm talking about is a online retailer, add the max you can buy and that brings the cost up to about 40.00 a pound. when Pv has powder in stock you can buy an 8lb jug for 138.00 +27.95 divide by 8lbs = 20.75 a pound, that is about 100% mark up if you figure it that way. I'm not calling for a boycott or whining simple refusing to do business with people who operate that way,and yes it is, my choice and everybody has that right, thats why we live in one of the greatest country in the world. Sorry if I offended anybody. Yes I have ran a business when the economy tanked I went to work in the oilfields to to keep funds coming in to finish my house but never once charged that kind of mark up my conscience never would have let me do it even if I could have.

changing from 1 lb to 8lb and then doing the math is comparing apples to oranges..and you left out shipping.

You went to work in the oil fields..are you not then gouging the companies you work for. If you worked for xyz company in penseltucky doing such and such a job and make 15 bucks an hour and do the same job in the oil patch and you make 40 bucks an hour, what is that??

You flip bergers at Mc Donalds in anytown USA for 7 bucks an hour and move to the oil patch and then make 22 bucks an hour for the same job, are you not gouging that adorable big lipped, yellow suited clown?

How about stocking the shelves at Walmart..... 8 bucks an hour elsewhere, 30 bucks an hour in the oil patch...... you might owe Sammy an appoligy.

I say HELL NO!!!!! Capitalism...supply and demand. It is what it is.
