Just an observation...

Most folks who say "I'm set for life on ammo" don't shoot.

If you're someone who shoots, the component shortage is painful. The price increase and buying to scalp is a double painful. I don't have a stockpile to sit on, I have a stockpile to shoot.....but I have to replace components and I don't want to stop shooting.

For some of us it's not about being irresponsible or lack of foresight, it's about being limited in how long we can continue to do what we like to do.
