Kind of what I was thinking. Boycott would be a message sender I would think. I know of a couple of stores that took down their AR platforms after the hue and cry started. I don’t shop there anymore. Pinchin’ the pocketbook sends a message for sure.
You can bet that part of their motive was to hold back their stock until prices peaked. They're either doing consignment sales at gun shows or selling back to their wholesaler at a nice profit.
