Why the run on 22lr ammo??

[Dirtymike]

You need it more than me? Hmmmmm......you convinced me. I'll stop buying all the 22LR I see.










Not.

No sir, i dont need it at all actually. I have stocked up little by little. Shoot my bow more than 22. I am all good. I did however see the disappointment on a young mans face when there was not 22lr. Then spoke to him and his father talking about how this is just nuts. He got a 10/22 for christmas and his pops is teaching him gun safty, and how to shoot. They did not think that they needed to buy more than a 550 brick. That was gone before the sky started to fall. Now he has been unable to find ammo so his son can shoot. I just so happen to have a brick in my truck. Told them to hold on a min and meet me outside in about 10. I did my shopping met them outside. They walked with me to my truck and I handed the young man a brick of ammo. His face lite up and I told him to use it wisly and make the shots count. Not for shooting cow pies. We all laughed cause we all have dont that. He then offered me a free hog/axis hunt on his ranch.

So yea, I have ammo. But i think it is kind of stupid to buy 10000 round of 22lr when you have 10000 at home just because someone starts talking about a gun ban. I think it is pathetic when I see grown me racing to the counter and waiting outside of stores just to buy up all the ammo that they already have a stock pile of at home. If you need it and dont have any that is one thing. But when you have 1000s of rounds and fight for ammo, buy every last round you see when you see it I think you are crazy and a bit selfish. But maybe I am the dummy here for not spending 1000s on ammo. It is a different time and world today. However is is not "EVERYONE ELSE" fault either. I think I seen some .223 at academy in Round Rock this morning just so yall know. Go get it boys.

Thats what I want to find it for.. Rally if anyone can tell me where to get them for 3 cents per round I'd be happy. Even if I have to wait a while for things to settle before I can buy.


1.75 cents and $.0175 = the same thing At least coming from the schools I went to LOL

My reading comprehension was a little off at 0345 .

Wal-Mart and Academy?

I found the 1400 bucket, but the $20 for 525 is never in stock at Wal-Mart.

Any place else to look for these with reasonable prices?

Most of the ammo I'm getting is from Academy. Just got to be there when they get it. Not easy...

people learning to shoot, farmers with pest, a young kid that just got a 22lr for christmas and just ran out of his last brick. Or how about anyone that just has a 22 and wants to go shoot it but is not an ammo horder.

Is that good enough for you "Big MAN"

You missed my point. Who are you to say who needs ammo? I think those resellers making the run on ammo are A bunch of bottom feeders but they might be selling it to people that need it.

[Dirtymike]

I am nobody to tell anyone what to do. Guess I did miss that. As I think you did miss what I meant. I am not telling anyone not to go buy ammo. If just reminds me when I was a kid I wanted to have all the legos. I needed all the legos cause they were mine, all mine! Haha, untill I got bopped on the head. I learned to share, leave something for someone else as they may need it more than I. I really dont care. I have ammo, I dont have 1000s of rounds. But for my needs I am fine. I am not worried about not being able to buy it in the future. Besides, if the SHTF, I will just pick some up off all the horders that got blasted early in the game. Our childrens generation will be inheriting 30 year old ammo. Which I aint saying is bad either. It more valuable than money and holds its value or increases. Not a bad investment IMO. Just not everybody all at once.
