The difference there is John Doe wasn't in a SHTF crisis and the doctor most likely wasn't a zombie or some marauder out to murder his wife, rape his daughter, shoot his dog and steal everything he had. That said, two bricks of ammo in normal times seems like price gouging.

"out to murder his wife, rape his daughter, shoot his dog and steal everything he had."

Are you sure you got those in the right order? I couldn't help, but think of this line from the movie 'The Running Man':
"You're lucky he didn't kill you, too. Or rape you, then kill you. Or kill you, then rape you."
