A thumb print for .22?
What is this country coming to?
You know what it's coming to. We're not supposed to speak its name, and talking about it can get you banned, but everyone here knows what's coming.
Rimfire ammo is very vulnerable in this political climate. Can't reload it, though I'm sure there are some enterprising people who would figure out a way (expensive though it may be - for example, Google "5mm Craig").
Lay in a good supply of .22LR. 5000 rounds is probably a good starting point.
What it was after the Gun Control Act of '68 was passed, and before the Gun Owners Protection Act of '86.
Back then, I only owned a single shotgun, but when I'd visit my wife's grandparents I'd buy a few boxes of .22 short, yes short, to put through Grandpa's Browning rifle. (Yes .22 short!). I'd have to show an ID, so I'd give them my green active duty military ID, or later my red reserve military ID. Just to emphasize the stupidity of it all.
Now, at least twice, I've bought 1,000 round lots of ammo over the Internet and had it shipped to me, along with smaller orders. You couldn't do that, ID or No ID, prior to '86. (although substitute US mail for the Internet on the purchase end). We'll be back t that shortly I imagine.
