The solution for high prices is higher prices. At some level it is too high for anyone to purchase and will drop. Same is true with "hoarding" . People complain about others buying everything in sight. Very high prices discourage hoarding and allow some supply to remain available to those willing to pay the price.
Price "gouging" is a subjective term . It is different for each individual. Any attempt to quantify "gouging" is likewise subjective.
If you don't like the price, don't buy it. As a free market capitalist I don't believe in "gouging". I do think that "gouging" when it comes to necessities during times of emergencies is unethical and who ever does it should be shamed and boycotted. If anyone with a pulse was caught short on 22 shells during this shortages its their own dang fault. Or anyhing else for that matter, quit whining start paying.

At the local gun shot .22 is 10 cents a round

Steven it's not just 22 their doing the gouging on its also 9mm 223 and other rounds. They had a 200 round box of 223 green tip for $350. Cheap wolf 223 is $20 box I don't see the difference, it's simple, don't do business there. I managed to pick up several hundred 223 green tip the past few weeks. anywhere from .45 to .50 a round. Even managed to get 500 small rifle primers at the same store. CCI BR 4, 7 bucks a hundred,.

Some or many of you need to understand the difference between gouging and supply/demand. You don’t need ammo, if you choose not to pay the price you’ll be fine. I’m sure you can find something else to go online and whine about.  Bet the room clears when some people show up. LOL
