Stan, your notion of capitalism stepping in to fill a need is not what I'm seeing world-wide---or here in my baliwick. There are three good gun stores within 100 miles which I patronize to keep them here. When they don't have what I want, they order it for me. I bought a new Beretta 686 o/u a couple years ago for less than at the big stores and way less than in Rome. Nationally the Canadian biggies, in resources and finance particularly, are buying billion-dollar opposition world-wide to reduce competition. The trend is to less competition and more misery for us.
King, what you're seeing does not change how the market works. It is not subject to our whims or interpretations. Your views are short term, and remember I said "eventually". The market WILL fill a need, short term or long.
