...because of panic buying and there never being a "stock" on the store shelves. :dumb:
I have NEVER seen a "shortage" of 22LR in my life. Ever. It's not because they are making any less of it. It's not because the MFG's are charging more. It is because "people" have freaked out, and are buying any and all when they see it, whether they "need it" or not. Or hell, to resell it because they know they can.
Once panic buying calms the fuck down, prices will drop back down to normal. And once that does, I am going to remember the places that didn't jack up their prices to stupid rates to take advantage of the situation, and possibly even prolong it.
