He is writing about my brother. No doubt he is part of the problem.

I don’t want to give them my email address. Could you summarize what the solution is? Thanks!

Bought my three boxes of .22LR Remington (1350fps) 100rd boxes for $21 and change out the door. WalMart. 0.07 cents per round.

It was a long read to finally get to this, "People walk into the store, they don't see as much as they want so they take everything they can get. The next guy who comes in can't get anything, so he panics."

Still waiting for his explaination why the first guy didn't see as much as he wanted.

Shortage mystery solved(?), but availability, not so much. :>} Glad I have “some” on hand.

Gun owners tend to over react to political events, including yours truly. I’m still using primers I stocked up on when Clinton was elected.

I believe that Obama is buying everything he can get his hands on.

Demand is dropping.
Folks horded like crazy at extreme prices, now it is tapering off.

It appears reading the comments we all agree this article doesn’t hit the bullseye much less the target overall. Back to the range with this author IF he’s ever been.

” Brown Bear 7.62x39mm rifle rounds (standard for an AK-47) are now entirely unavailable on AIM Surplus. All you can get today is cheap Russian Wolf-brand ammo ... that costs a staggering $230 for a box of 1000 rounds.”

A giveaway that the Fool is actually a fool!

This article reminds me of Geraldo Rivera, and some gangster’s (I can’t remember which) vault. Nothing there.

A friend just returned from Canada and said there are piles of 22 in the stores at almost the old prices.

I haven’t been able to find it in North Mississippi or around Memphis since election day 2012. On a recent roadtrip through rural West TN and KY I checked every Wal-Mart, pawn shop, and gunshop I passed and didn’t find a single round. The Wal-Mart in Union City, TN, had a cardboard sign on their ammo case notifying customers that no .22 had come in overnight.

I stocked up on a few of these in the mid-90s when they were $9.99 a brick at Wally World.

I had several 5000rnd cases purchased over the years when I found bargains at Sportsman’s Guide. Unfortunately a boating accident carried them away. Except for that Russian Vostok, the best thing you can say about it is that the duds give you excellent trigger training. $109 a case delivered, so it’s hard to complain.

I bought a case of 22LR and some 22 mag when some department store here went out of business many moons ago.
