The pipeline, believe it or not IS full. They're making it at 100% round-the-clock capacity. It isn't making it to the store shelves because of hoarders buying first. What is hoarding?

My own definition is this: if you have more than a two-year supply at your usual shooting rate, and you are still buying, you are a hoarder.

Hoarding is contemptible because it keeps anybody but the hoarder from having any supply. There isn't an infinite supply, and they don't create components with a magic wand. The guy who needs a few hundred primers to prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime hunt can't get any because some self-centered bastid bought yet another full shipment of them to squirrel away.

In my opinion, components ought to sold at a daily, per-person limit until the supply stabilizes. Everybody would get a chance to have at least some, and the stores would still sell all they get. Everybody but the hoarders would win, and hoarders deserve the same medicine they've been doling out to everybody else.

Rocko, Does this apply to golf balls too?
