There has been a strange shortage of 22 caliber ammo in the country and we have talked about it from all kinds of perspectives including government conspiracies. I respect the knowledge of Al Strup, a gun specialist and sales associate at Sportsman's Warehouse so I gave him a call. "If I were to walk into Sportsman's Warehouse and ask if I could buy some 22's would I be able to? You might or you might not. They are difficult to get. I get shipments in once a week and what I do is I put a little bit out every day. if you were here at the right time, you might be able to get them. To what do you attribute the shortage? There are a lot of reasons for it. There are people that are hoarding it because they are scared based on the current gun situation. There are more youth shooters in the market now, there are more female shooters. There are just more people consuming it. Some experts say that the government is involved. Is that true? No no no there is no government's thing going on. It's just that we are consuming more than we normally did. Wouldn't you think manufacturers would increase production? They are and they are building new factories.
