I’m against all price gouging laws in any form, regardless of their intent or definition. Your post is irrelevant.

I have very little sympathy for price gouging. My dad has a small country store and before a cold spell he or I would usually run to Home Depot or Lowes and get the typical fittings someone would need to repair or cap broken pipes in case of an emergency. I am sure he lost money on this, but it was a way of making sure people in the community were taken care of.
That's not price gouging.

Depends on if you want a civilized society or not.
Price gauging during an emergency is asking for trouble.
Without government enforcement of protections for the consumers, the consumers would realize that they have to fend for themselves.
And things would devolve into anarchy pretty quickly.
