I guess I'm one of the whiners so I'll respond to the latest posts here. My issue here isn't about redistribution of wealth (as the squirrel story hints at) or liberals in the gun culture ( which if you go to the political forum I think they would say started around 1968). This has nothing to do with that. My issue isn't with what/how much or what price Matt payed for his primers he didn't need. I agree with Colt100's assessment of supply and demand. I think that I will soon be able to get the primers and powder that I want as cheap, if not cheaper than before.
My only issue here has been with Matt's original post of buying 30,000 primers he didn't need. He, and others, contributed to a panic buying (or to use Matt's word-speculation) that forced up prices and ended availablity. He can do that if he wants and I don't have to pay increased prices. But I don't have to be happy for him or accept his "Well I got mine and #$% the rest of you." That's all- I thought it was "odd" that he would boast about that to the very people hurt by the hoarding.
