Everybody owns a 22 but how many of them shoot their 22s on a regular basis? Most guys I know shoot tons of handgun and rifle rounds per year but not that many 22s. And even the ones who do shoot 22s on a regular basis, they wouldn't go out and burn up a brick at one session.

I get the hoarding and the shortage but I wonder how many people were effected by this shortage only after they found out that there was, indeed, a shortage.
