I'm just reacting to what is happening with shortages. Until shortages are alleviated we need to keep as many of us shooting as possible. Maybe we need to make our shots count instead of the "spray and pray" waste.
Equipment technology has never been higher than in the past few years. Gun prices are higher than 40 years ago, but so are wages. I remember buying 20 rounds of 30-06 ammo in 1960 for $12.75. My father was earning $70 per week. In my spare-time job, I earned 50 cents an hour. I saved a long time to buy a Savage 110 for $120.
WalMart was selling the same ammo for $15 a year or so ago. Minimum wage is around $280 a week. That's 18% of wages compared with less than 5% for most people today. (Of course we didn't have cable TV, cellphones, and other ways to spend our money back then.)
