Given the only barrier of entry is the scripted amount available this law would be applicable in that stance as their is no "barrier" from others opening a gun store other then scripting. An the current prices are based on the demand/supply of pistols supplied. Price Fixing is 100% included in that law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act_of_1890 Violations "per se": these are violations that meet the strict characterization of Section 1 ("agreements, conspiracies or trusts in restraint of trade"). A per se violation requires no further inquiry into the practice's actual effect on the market or the intentions of those individuals who engaged in the practice. Conduct characterized as per se unlawful is that which has been found to have a "'pernicious effect on competition' or 'lack . . . any redeeming virtue'"[18] Such conduct "would always or almost always tend to restrict competition and decrease output."[19] When a per se rule is applied, a civil violation of the antitrust laws is found merely by proving that the conduct occurred and that it fell within a per se category.[20] (This must be contrasted with rule of reason analysis.) Conduct considered per se unlawful includes horizontal price-fixing,[21] horizontal market division,[22] and concerted refusals to deal.[23] Horizontal Price-fixing: https://www.inddist.com/article/2011/03/price-fixing-and-other-horizontal-requirements Horizontal price-fixing occurs when two or more competitors conspire to set prices, price levels, or price-related terms for their goods or services. With very limited exceptions, price-fixing is per se illegal, regardless of its reasonableness or actual effect on competition. As a result, price-fixing is serious business. You also have no understanding of supply and demand if you think guns in this game could or should even be considered on a supply/demand rate. Being that guns are more or less an inelastic demand (not to mention infinite supply, lol). Any person who bought a gun store and priced them for 2k under what everyone else has greedily priced them or would make a killing, Too bad the same gang members own every store currently hence being an EXTREME barrier to entry. Even if a new one were to go up for sale it would be instantly bought for more than most people could afford by the same goons running then ones that own the current ones.
