I recently found three boxes of 225 quantity Remington .22lr hollow points at WalMart. They were $10 each which is about 4.5 cents per round. I'm not sure what the pre-shortage prices were.
I'm sure that there are plenty of people like myself who had a supply when the shortage began but who now realize that they just maybe wish to have more. When prices decline to within about 10% of prior prices, I'll be looking at preparing a little more thoroughly for any future shortage.
It's unthinkable to me that Americans should be unable to become and stay armed.
And yet, ask yourself this: How many of our politicians would like to see such the normal state of affairs?
That is about the same or actually a little cheaper than the pre-shortage prices, at least for the premium types.
