With your logic, I assume your not unhappy with the rise in the cost of gas.
Nobody likes to pay $3.09 (full tank today) for gas; but my Volvo S/W is a $40,000 item at today's prices; I recall that I paid 26.9 per gallon for "Regular Un-leaded" in 1965, when my new Mustang cost about $2,300. Automobiles today are sold with "Cash Back" and "Zero Percent Financing," and 5 and 6 year payouts are not uncommon. Yet you never hear anyone complain about the usurious interest rates or high sales taxes (8 1/4 % in Rockford IL), because, after all, everyone wants a new car. And don't even ask the price, because, after all, it's only so much per month...
The point of my first post was (and is) that at present prices when compared to the availbility of ammo, or shooting opportunities, or gasoline, or whatever, we people today should think twice when complaining that things aren't what they used to be. By any objective standard we have things pretty good, not perfect, but pretty darn good.
By the way, when I go out behind the barn to break some clays, I've been shooting $4.19 cheap 12-ga. #8s ammo from Gander Moutain. It's been a while since I bought a case; I guess I better check things out next time I get a chance to see if there's "sticker shock." Perhaps if the Dem's have their way, it won't matter. Further EDM sayeth naught.
