Does anyone miss...

If by "sky is falling" you mean the threat of new anti-gun laws. That threat has been hanging over us for longer then most of us has been alive. The likly hood of such laws being passed goes in cycles. sometimes the likly hood is high, sometimes low. But it's been there for a long, long time. This time (unlike 1994) there is hope for the future and a real chance of rolling back some laws. This is something new in my life time.

The supply shortage. I am too young to remember the shortages because the Vietnam war, but I have talked to people who do. I do however remember the shortages and price spikes of 1994. In time the panic buying stopped, the prices dropped. So it's important to realize/remember supply issues also go in cycles and this too will pass.

Don't let it get you down. Don't let it "ruin" the hobby/sport for you. Things will get back to normal.

What shortages?I bought everything and all calibers were available.I do miss the Norma milsurp .223 ball for 6 bucks a box of 50.

In recent history, it was darkest in CA right before 2000 hit, but right when the ban had been signed into law.

The sun is now breaking through the clouds - life is good.
