IMHO...........this is more about people preparing for what they see as a government that is increasingly trying everything it can to disarm the populace.
These shortages didn't begin in earnest until this administration came into power under nefarious election conditions. The majority on the political right think the election was stolen....even if it were "legally stolen".......stolen none the less.
While there is a certain degree of people that still haven't caught on or don't believe our government is turning to socialism/communism, there are many, many more that do and are making sure they have the means to do something about it when the time comes.
The reason I say this, is not only are the components that most target shooters and such in short supply.........ALL ammo and components are in short supply. Especially "dooms day" type ammo.
A wise decision IMHO......
While we worry about our next target match, the rest of the population is worrying about staying free and protecting their belongings and families. While conditions are getting better due to manufacturers increasing production, you also have the government buying huge sums of ammo for their purposes........whatever that may be. I have my suspicions.
While over seas, all European nations are also preparing for a WWIII scenario that looks like it's headed their way. World wide demand has totally stripped all supplies from every manufacturer in ever country...........not just here.
Just my opinion on all this. I think the SHTF scenario is not far off no matter how the future elections turn out. If Republicans win...the left will go berserk..........much worse than the so called George Floyd riots (SHTF). If the left wins, it will continue to become more oppressive (from our point of view) until something snaps..........then SHTF again. It's coming either way IMHO..........
That's why everyone is "hoarding" more that than any other reason - IMO.......WISE DECISION - IMHO.

I'm sure you believe all of what you said, but your entire concept is based on a false statement. The shortages began long before the current administration came into power. Your false assumption is the same as has been passed around for many years, the government is going to take your guns, so stock up. Every time the concept flares up, people start hoarding and buying things they don't even need. Of course there is going to be a shortage and the prices will go up. Covid threw a wrench into the production and supply of everything. I've been hearing it for over 50 years and was probably going on before that. Regardless of who wins and loses, I won't be using my hobby toys agains't my neighbors. Political disagreement is how America settles its disagreements, not violence. People who encourage violence could be one reason why people fear guns. Brandishing them only makes it worse.
What about IMAO?What about IMNSHO?![]()
I tried to find a good "head in the sand" meme but I'm just too damn tired right now.BS - IMO

Just like a woman cannot have enough shoes,(most of which are black by the way) a man cannot have enough ammo, powder, bullets, brass, primers or guns!!! In good times or bad!!The current situation as to the supply of reloading components was created by COVID. Then it was enhanced by hoarding. This resulted in supply shortages and higher prices. Price gouging pushed the prices even higher. How do we fix this?
The quickest way to fix this is to reduce demand. Don't buy more than what you need. Stockpiling components only causes prices to go even higher. Supply is not going to increase. Only the consumer of the components can fix the problem.
+1The quickest way to fix this is to reduce demand.
And it will continue to go up because of energy prices. Brandon promised that he would "punish the petroleum industry"...apparently they were not ready to be punished....now the mantra is Putin is responsible...that is just stupid!The price of EVERYTHING has gone up.
+1Government? Nothing but a bunch of crooks and it doesn't take much to see them in action if you just open your eyes.
And "FIDO"TARFU -> SNAFU -> FUBAR -> BOHICA
