[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2663875, member: 8394"] I wish it was that simple. While I agree the concept of hoarder is a bit harsh, truth be told hoarder is someone who allows possessions to negatively effect normal daily life. If having a temperature controlled basement with 200k in components doesn't hinder life I'd say your not a hoarder. Maybe it's a shelf and 2k.... still not a hoarder if you have space and can afford. Problem with the "should of been prepared" doesn't account for new converts. Reality is the church of 2a sheds youth members like most Churches. We maintain our freedoms and our hobby though converts, something made much harder when stuff like 120 ballistic tips triple in 2 years. One of my recent guys is not much over 20. His family wasn't anti gun but had a 12 gauge and a 22lr with about a half box of ammo for each. I took him down the rabbit hole by introducing him to my guns a few years back. It's unrealistic to expect him or those like him to not gravitate towards other hobbies. Last week we were doing the gun shop rounds, standing in front of the component section he exclaimed. "I thought this would be a cheaper hobby than mountain sleds, but I think it's somewhere between sleds and airplanes....." That sentiment is going to translate into our ability to recruit those who view what we do as something worth fighting to protect. [/QUOTE]
