If I didn't know any better, I'd think that half the folks on this board are socialists.

Whether someone has a legitimate, immediate use for an item or not, there is no such thing as artificial demand. Demand is demand. People keep comparing guns to gold, but saying it's different with gold because guns have artificial demand. "Gold has real value." When someone will explain to me why $2000 spent on gold is more useful than $2000 spent on guns, then I will succumb to the idea of artificial demand.

Would you still post on OSA if there was a membership fee?

How about this?

not fighting a ban = supporting a ban.

People that lose interest in guns are less likely to fight for them.

This is a legitimate point...well put. I am certainly guilty of having trouble following a long, drawn out scenario and thinking that it would apply to very many people. Probably my fault

Obviously, but nice evade.

I'm not sure what the evasion is. I charge whoever whatever I deem necessary for my time, profit margin needed, desired, or both. So the answer to your question I suppose you are looking for would be "yes" and "no". It all depends on where you sit at the show; some seats are better than others. The seat you sit in is of your own doing, like it or not. It's not my fault or problem you won't be intellectually honest with yourself. That is all I have to say on the matter. Have a day.

we'll you'd think this has never happened before lol.

Had you brought some to have on hand and replaced it as you shot this wouldn't be an issue would it? Oh wait you'd rather someone else tie up thier money and demand it be sold when things like this happen wouldn't you.

Really folks if you didn't get an AA slide or upper that shoots .22 LR the last time this happened you need to look in the mirror. It cost money to shoot but there's ways to shoot cheaper. Maybe when you tax returns come in next time you could do without the new gun and buy stuff for what you have.

Now for the new guys , observe what's happening here it will happen again. It wasn't 5 years ago you could get 9mm for 6 bucks and it was double that this time. The new normal will be higher prices so invest some money in ammo or reloading supplies if you want to save yourself some touble.
Reloading great just understand there will be storages or compoents their too from time to time.
