| For the love of Sweet Baby Jesus how is it possible that America in all her glory can not put .22LR ammunition on the shelves in 12 fucking months?! Yes I have plenty. Yes I know this is the 87,000th thread on the matter, but fuck me. I just want to see some bricks sitting somewhere even if they are $50 a piece. |

I saw someone do the math. Makes sense once you think about it.
2.5 billion rounds annually. That is Approx 13,700 bricks of 500 per day. Just 1,800 Walmarts sell Ammo, that is less than 8 bricks per day per Walmart. So in 2012 there were 51,438 gun shops. That's gonna knock down the brick per day per shop ratio if I'm not mistaken. Demand is way up. It's not a conspiracy. No tin foil. It's pure market demand and manufacturing limits. Even if they bumped production 20% that's still a drop in the bucket compaired to what they could sell. |
