I do feel we are being ripped off. However, supply and demand. They know they can get it, so they do it. I know I have curbed my shooting habbits. I don't go nearly as much as I used to simply because its getting harder and harder to afford the hobby. Personally, with the economy going so badly, I don't think they are going to be able to keep the prices this high for much longer. People eventually will get enough stocked and stop buying as much. Until then who knows. Thats just my thoughts. What goes up must come down.
