To all the armchair economists/piss ant capitalists who are talking about the �new price� for .22lr ��- if and when Cabelas, Brownells, midway, Basspro, Sportsmans, Wallmart and all the rest start selling it for 10 times what it cost last year that will be a market correction. What we have now is a bubble caused by people with part time jobs at such places arranging for their family and friends to be on hand to purchase all the .22lr so they can resell it at gouger prices. You ask me what is right/proper/fair? Let the manufacturers, middle people and big box stores raise prices and sell .22lr for what you gougers are trying to sell if for, let the profit flow to the real capitalist. Done and done.
P.S., I�ve got about 3000-4000 22lr on hand, but I also have three kids that just hit shooting age in the last couple of years. We were going to take the kids to the Appleseed shooting event last November, but decided not to because it would use up 1000-1500 rounds. (Two of the kids have already gone. My middle daughter is looking forward to her first time). We talk about needing to get kids into shooting, well .22lr is the primary introduction for the next generation of shooters. (Think Kant's categorical imperative).
Bottom line, the gougers are not capitalist, sportsmen, or anyone I�d like to hang around. Hell, most of the people involved don�t have jobs, how else could they arrange to be at the store when the shipments come in!
"What I was saying is if my kin folk 400 years ago had guns, we wouldn�t be having this conversation. I�m in favor of guns and encourage everyone I know to have them because the last time we didn�t have them we were abused.�

I agree with this for the most part. If $60 a brick was the new price, then the retailers would be selling it for that. They are not, just the gougers.

For you folks that are bitching and complaining that you can't find 22LR ammo at decent prices, could be your looking in the wrong place. I had 2800 rounds delivered TYD for 5.8 cents per round last week. That's about $30.00 per brick.

Funny all these new entrepreneurs keep talking about "the market" but not how and who created "the market". Funny how the only places that have ammo are the ones asking the current value. Why anybody would insist a business take it in the ass for the sake of what things cost in 2012 is beyond me. Travis

I picked up enough ammo for my two oldest to go to shooting camp online thanks to someone posting here on the fire. But truth be told, I've not gotten down and dirty putting in back orders and checking inventories every thirty minutes. I suppose it is time to teach the kids how to research and shop for ammo online.  LOL

Think of it this way---people who only bought ammunition they plan on using a few days before they intended to use it and only bought enough for that outing are just caught up in their own short sightedness. It's much like the people who go to the grocery store and only buy the things they plan on cooking/eating the next day.
I like to have some food/ammo/clothes bought up just in case.... Exactly . Just like the folks who only fill the gas tanks in their cars & trucks for what they'll use that week instead of planning ahead and having twin 550 gallon tanks in the backyard with a year or so's worth of gasoline.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

I think everyone who owns a firearm should quit their current job and make a living selling 22lr.

I think my next investment opportunity lies within a 75 mi radius of Harve, Montana. I'm thinking of buying every gas station in the tri-county area and in a brilliant marketing scheme, I'm going to raise the price of reg gas and diesel fuel to $9 a gallon.
