[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2152517, member: 25377"] You win too. Congrats. Popularity means very little to me. I disagree with every gun control law and every "price gouging" law, regardless of how popular they both are. No one should have claim to someone else's property. No one should be able to set the price its to be sold for. It's contrary to freedom. Period. If that damages my credibility with someone, then I do not concern myself with the opinion of that person. Anyone that can justify "forcing" someone else to sell their property at a price the BUYER sets, is in violation of free will and in violation of individual liberty. I can be FOR what is morally right, and also be against the violation of free will. Secondly, if you read the link you sent, almost ALL price gouging laws are in reference to "A declared state of emergency." There is no justifiable argument that there is a declared state of emergency. This is nothing but impatient people upset at their inability to have what they want immediately, and deferred guilt as a result of their inability to plan ahead. It's not an emergency. It's not water or food or shelter. It's primers and bullets. Despite the tongue-in-cheek humor that can be applied to that situation given how seriously some of us take this sport... it is NOT life or death. Even if it were, forcing someone to do something for someone else's benefit is contrary to the universal law and biblical law which governs a free and just society. There's nothing I can do about people's unwillingness to recognize that using force against someone else to get their cooperation is wrong in every instance. It's very sad to me to see that tactic is so commonplace that not only is it accepted, but people will fight to keep it and attack those that try to suggest an alternate path. I think there has been enough compromise. I think there needs to be a bit more black and white. What is right and what is wrong does not bend to the will of modern societal norms. I do not believe that just because something is socially accepted or expected, that it must also be morally or biblically good. It often is not. Most often, what is popular is not right. If this makes me your enemy or your target. So be it. [/QUOTE]
