wtf!?

I thought the Pres was supposed to take our guns away. All that seems to be hard to find is .22 amo.

What is that muslin kenyan doing with all the .22 shells???

seriously, it has been months and the kids can't seem to ever catch the plinking supplies at any of the 3 locations nearby...why .22s? everything else is in stock (if rather pricey)

and some dumbasses will pay dearly for 22LR.

As for me and my family we've marched on with the 22 stock I had on hand when the gougers started buying everything up.





Still plenty of 22 for family fun time at the range. (old pic) but it's still one of the kids favorite 22's we have.

If you get up early enough walturd has 22 @7am....stop by on your way to work, that's how I've resupplied our stock the few times I've found it on the shelf.


Carry on, and Happy Shooting.

2. Couple of factors

Increase of new shooters buying . 22 LR guns and the ammo to go with it, so there is an increase in demand there.

Additional people are just buying larger quantities. Ammo doesn't go bad, it is at least a little cheaper if you buy in bulk and when you don't know when you'll be able to get more, you tend to buy more then you need to avoid future shortages.

I was lucky (and a little smart) and got a good deal about 18 months ago and bought 5000 rounds. I saved about $4 per hundred off retail prices.
