That’s all well and good, but I’m curious why 22LR seems to be the toughest of all to get. If the government wanted to force a shortage on something, it seems they would buy up all the .223, 9mm, and 40mm stuff. I’m still scratching my head over why the big shortage of 22LR.

Boy, I sound like a MSM reporter there! I meant .40 not 40mm. DOH!

...then again, 40mm sounds pretty sweet!
