I agree with you......I know a couple of guys who shop Dunham's every Monday morning after they get their weekly ammo shipment in and they buy whatever the limit of boxes is.......They just keep buying and buying and buying even tho they have thousands of stockpiled rounds at home.....
Even tho I have about 15 boxes of steel casing 9 mm that I purchased maybe 20 years ago, I now can't shoot any of it at the local indoor ranges because they only allow brass.
So I had to pay top dollar for 10 boxes to go shooting with a buddy........
Remember when the old joke used to be something like, “Most people would benefit from buying more ammo and training instead of more guns”? Everyone knows that most people, especially noobs, don’t train and shoot enough. It’s gotta be a supply chain problem, IMHO.
