Most of us buy a couple boxes for sighting in and hunting and expect that we can buy more when we run out. It wasn’t until recently that the toy soldiers started hoarding cases of ammo that we started seeing shortages.
About a year ago they decided ammo for evil guns was the same as evil guns. On the bright side I was buying out the stores at like $0.04 for 9mm.
When ammo has been unavailable or stupidly high priced for nearly two years, it's easy for supplies to get low. I used to shoot 20 rounds of .22 ammo in one of my handguns, 3 days per week, and run a couple cylinders through my .357 on Sundays. It doesn't take long to run low on ammo when you can't replenish it. I have at least a box remaining for every gun except my .410, but am hesitant to use it. I've fired a gun just 2 times this year, both times at living targets which aren't any more.
What are people wanting to be prepared for? To take on the US military or another military with small arms?
