It isn't hoarders........
I've spent a lot of time in the Quad cities and in towns across the country. Shops aren't getting ammo for 22 lr. They get in a few boxes, not 500 bricks or cases but 50 bullet boxes or 100 bullet boxes. Somebody said it's because the stores around are too little. Bull, they weren't too little a few years ago to get cases of .22's, how'd they get to be too little now? WalMart is too little, Dicks sporting is too little, Gander Mountain is too little, Scheels is too little? I don't think so.
There's a lot of baloney written about people hoarding but I've never talked to one shop owner who has had any quantity of ammo come in like they did 3 or so years ago.
I know some people have tried to tell stories about so and so having 100,000 rounds of .22's but it never pans out. Those people don't exist. And as for people shooting more, how are they doing it? They can't get the ammo to shoot more.
