Aren't there laws that criminalize scalping during this pandemic? Or, do they only apply to "essentials?"
That would be going after the scalpers directly. It would probably be easier to go after the bot farms directly for blatantly going against Store/company terms of use of the site. Still ultimate a battle of attrition, but the weapons makers are better targets than than the foot soldiers.
