On the other hand, if this blows over and the market is awash in $700 ARs, there arguably is no damage.
That's probably going to be the situation by the time any case would be heard.

Others will have a better handle on this area of the law than I do, but consequential damages are a tricky area, and they're usually limited to 10% of the loss. So, if I paid $900 for a gun, Dick's refunded my money, and it would cost me $1300 to buy it elsewhere, I'd recover $40.

The cost of even talking the matter over with legal counsel dwarfs that. This also assumes I can prove significant hardship to the court in the first place.
