Can civilian hoarding really account for 22 ammo being unavailable throughout the land??
Yes, everyone I know owns at lest 1 22 firearm and they are all buy everything in sight.
It probably can. .22LR is the one everybody wants for their most basic rock bottom gun when everything else is gone, the .22 can be still there in large quantities because it stores so easily and they also can be hidden so easily.
I scour the shops every time I go in. I’m looking for bulk .22 lr. It is unbelievable.
