Well, of course Ron, according to some on this forum, this whole thing is all really just our own fault. We all should have seen it coming, the inevitable day when ripoff artists, slimy price-gougers, and asshat hoarders would all conspire to dry out the ammo and component market for years on end.
So, really, we're to blame for the situation because we should have "stocked up" back when shelves were full and it was obvious to everyone that at common-as-dirt commodity would suddenly become impossible to find. Then we could all be sitting in our bunkers getting our jollies sitting on top of a giant pile of .22 shells that were too valuable to shoot because then what would you replace them with?
But yes, I totally agree. I'm going to take great pleasure in making sure a select few gouging shops get told in person why I'm NOT buying from them anymore. Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't, but they made their bed, so now they lie in it.
