    Buying a safe and sane firework is like paying a hooker for a hug. I do not see the appeal in it.

      I have ZERO problems with guys asking $1200 for a Glock G43 or 19 in the Marketplace. But for a gun shop to invent bullsh** fees is wrong in any industry.
      So, do you own a business and have to pay a lease, utilities, insurance and payroll? Oh, and actually get a paycheck yourself? In a tight market with limited supply?

          I see you're just f****** peachy keen with stores charging made up fees and surcharges, charging CA SALES TAX on said bull**** fees AND taxing the CA DROS FEE to survive. Yes, I do own my own business and it will be a cold day in hell before I start inventing ways to rip off my clients.

            Jeez...everybody riled up telling other people what to do with their money.

            Your money, your decision. Businesses can charge whatever the hell they want...and you have every opportunity to just not pay the price. Willing seller and willing buyer....

              What's the matter with you? This is a free country, damn it.

              If the greedy people you are defending feel they have the right to price gouge, certainly those on the other side of the fence are free to complain about the situation.

              And complaining, if true, is not " slandering ". You sound like those people who scream they have the right to do this and that, then gets angry when others do not agree with what they are screaming about.

                Those with self-righteous attitudes have to act like Managers, even before anybody calls for a manager. OP seems to have that need.

                Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

                  What's wrong with complaining? Sometimes I just want to change the official gender on my driver's license so I can complain guilt-free...

                    Old problems are like dry poop, if you let the dry poop sit it doesn't smell but the minute you decide to stir the poop with a stick, the smell comes back. Moral of the story, Don't bring up old problems!

                        Fine bit of "mansplaining" there!

                        What other forums are you on which you inform people of the obvious and then tell them what to do?

                            Slander is saying something negative and untrue about some one.

                            Telling others about made up charges and douche baggery by a dishonest and unscrupulous FFL/shop is a public service.

                                What complaints? I just laugh at the unethical turds and note to never deal with the rip off artist.
