I’ll bite. What’s the Constitutional Crisis?

If arms are selling out constantly for months on end at crazy high prices, people sure think there is one.

I was at Bass Pro Shop in CA last weekend, (rather like Cabelas in AZ but with more tattoos among the customers.) and they had shortages of most kinds of ammunition.

That is an indication that their prices are too low. If their prices were higher, perhaps people would show up in their parking lot to sell previously purchased ammunition and make a profit.

Consumer: (To Butcher 1) Your sirloin costs too much. $15 a pound is too much. Butcher 2, down the street only charges $10 a pound.

Butcher 1: Why don’t you buy it there?

Consumer: But he is out today.

Butcher 2: Our sirloin is only $5 a pound when we are out.
