Some shop owners are going to find themselves in a tricky situation over the next few weeks. Without inventory, they don't have cash flow.

So, the choice is to either raise prices or limit supply. It's the free market at work, but I agree that there are limits.

I remember the silliness that ensued in 1994, and there was a great deal of it following the 2008 and 2012 elections. The gun culture isn't just a market; it's a culture, and one with a long memory.
