Before the great 22LR shortage here is how my use worked.
I have unlimited access to some nearby private property used exclusively as a range.
Because 22LR was cheap, I did most of my practice with it & only a small amount with the centerfire arms. Well, during the spring, summer and fall I often go (went)3 times a week and burn 150-200 rounds each time. At 3.6¢ a round, a cheap hobby.
IOW, I was using a brick every 1-2 weeks for a good portion of the year. When you use that much regularly it’s only practical to keep a larger inventory.
I can’t afford to shoot that often with a centerfire rifle. Democrats get ObamaPhones, why can’t the government give me Obamamunition?
I just checked with the ammo leader at DU.com and this was her reply.
“Obamamunition is only for the 1%ers who pay their fair share. Evidently you aren’t paying your fair share anymore or else you would be able to afford Obamamunition.”
Myself I think she didn’t want to admit that she didn’t feel that you were entitled to Obamamunition because as your name implies, you are a ChildOfThe60s.
