I'm not surprised, I've seen stores charging hundreds over MSRP (high as it is) and getting away with it. I've seen people buy M&P Shields for $400 and turn around and list them for $699! It's crazy.

If people are paying the obscene prices, the madness will continue. I REFUSE to buy a gun that costs hundreds more than it should.

It's capitalism and the market, blah blah, but it's still nuts. Frankly I just want the run on ammo to stop. I'd like to be able to just grab a couple of boxes here and there like I used to. Now I have to be constantly driving half an hour to stores to find it, no online ammo sales in my stupid state (manufacturers get scared of MA law, I don't blame them).
