I personally don't mind it, it's like inflation. I just sell and trade all my stuff at an inflated price and it all works out.
You just have to shoot a little less for the time being, which is fine for me I just train different (like we did in the Army) vs mag-dumps.
I think we'll face these ups and downs for our entire lives, since the hobby is so controversial to some. We're under constant political attack so panic buying will hurt us too.
So not only covid affects us but so does politics, it's crazy!
I just try to keep enjoying the hobby regardless of the situation, maybe wait on buying that new rifle but you'll get it eventually. I've taken a break, you'll see some good used prices on forums, keep an eye out.
