.22 Ammo

.............2 boxes of .22 is not "loosening up." That stuff should be the most plentiful ammo in the US. Christ, when I was young, if you showed up in the "back 40" on a Saturday with only 2 boxes of 22, we'd have thrown stuff at you in disgust and then went home.

Offhand I'd say the govt has finally gained control of the people. Since you cannot reload .22 you are done.

As I understand, the reason for the 2 box limit, is because of pawn shops, and gun show dealers going in and buying it up. They take it back to their shops, or gun shows and jack the price up. I bought a box of 325 at Bass Pro for $17, and then saw it that weekend at a gun show for $45. At least Academy, and Bass Pro did not take advantage of the situation. They may not always have it, but when the do, it's still priced reasonable. My brother in law lives in Colorado. He bought some at one of the large, Bass Pro like stores, and paid double what I bought it for here.
