I notice that the t-shirt wearer didn't score any .22

OTOH, I finally figured out where the .22 ammo is - right next to all the downtown parking, ie: too many people.

2.0 to 2.5 billion rounds of .22 LR produced annually (acc'd to Wikipedia). Given 80 million gun owners, if half of those have .22 rifles and went to buy one single 50-round box, that's the year's production gone.

Thanks Obama.

I picked up one of those Ruger Takedown 10-22 rifles today. I was limited to two fifty round boxes of ammo. Fortunately I have 10,000 rounds of .22 LR in my stash.
