    So: faced with a rational response to a changing free market, at least some members of the ostensibly conservative 2A community converge on the Stalinist USSR.

    I find that interesting.

    This is actually right on. The left stirs up people's greed and envy and we turn on each other, which distracts us from focusing on the real problem--the State. You see it with the race-baiting, rich-hating oppression olympics all the time. And many of you are falling for this same tactic. You whine about people engaging in free trade. Why? Because it's not FAIR! Without realizing it, you sound just like AOC, BLM and Antifa. What will you do, cry to big daddy government to come in and punish those naughty people? The government would love nothing more than to step in and "solve" the problem (i.e. make things worse).

    We must all hang together or-- well, you know the saying.

    I'm not against a guy making some honest money, and speculating on ammo is probably as honest as selling used cars. They both can be honest. But not everything is about making money all the time in every situation. Sometimes helping someone expecting no personal payoff is the right thing to do.

    Well, you live and you learn.
    I've seen this happen with ammo about a half dozen times and I learned my lesson a long time ago.
    Buy Cheap, Stack Deep.

    Yup.

    I have enough ammo, components, and mags to last the rest of my life at this point providing I stop doing USPSA. In 2019, I shot over 20,000 rounds. Can’t do that nonsense right now. But I can keep my skills to an acceptable level.
