are you paying more for ammunition and firearms now?
No.
I shot a case of shells at doves and a case and half at ducks, they've cost the same for the last ten years almost. I shot 5 .280 bullets, one to check scope, 4 to kill deer. I'm done

Now, if you are paranoid stockpiled, well you were the reason the price went up...supply and demand. If everyone hadn't run around like nuts the firearm world would have remained unchanged. No one made that particular crowd a victim...they did it to themselves.

No you will just be pointing out your own level of ignorance. If we try to correct you it's because terminology was made one of the battlefields in this fight by the other side.
Changing the title to accomodate this really just singles the OP out as stupid to people who actually understand the subject.

But hey. Can't fix stupid. So I wonder why we try.
And then I realize the consequences of not fighting it when we're just arguing about words.

The high prices didnt bother me one bit. Only issue I had was not finding 22 billets when I needed them but that had nothing to do with assault weapon bans or high capacity mags. It was the peepers and nut jobs buying up everything they came across
And why did they feel that they needed to buy up every thing they saw? Could it have been *gasp an "assault weapons ban" that was floating around congress? Or the feel good legislation that has infringed upon the constitutional rights of residents in Colorado, California, New York ect ect. But I guess those upstanding LEO's in other states are just looking the other way.
The price of brass cased ammunition, the only kind that is reloadable, is still double what it was at the beginning of the year so all those guys shooting long range or three gun just took it in the arse. Seeing as I like shooting .308 and .223 I took it in the arse. Theres a 40 plus page long running ammo thread that tracks local prices here on this website if you care to look. That thread also wraps up with 9/10 posters becomming hoarders because they dont want to be caught with their pants down again.
The only reason the average hunter didnt take it up the pooper like the rest of us was the shooting happened early spring. No one hunts anything but varmints early spring seeing as deer and duck season happen in the fall.
Oh and the only reason you waterfowl hunters didnt take it in the shorts is the recent court ruling stating that the EPA has no authority to regulate ammunition. All you assholes complaining about how rough steel shot is on your shotgun bores should be able to go back to lead this fall.

I'm really amazed that in the age where it's become apparent they are using the IRS and every other agency they can against anyone that doesn't comply with their language restrictions and toe the party line you people haven't figured out yet where this battle is being fought.
It's hearts and minds now. Here. USA. And I suspect you are mostly of like mind about how PC language kinda blows. Which makes me really confused how you don't see the correlation here. THEY changed the terminology FOR A REASON. And you blow that off as irrelevant and get all pissed when someone calls you on it?
How the hell did a bunch of people with actual knowledge of the subject suddenly cower when faced with a bunch of pasty faced liberals in the media changing the language to suit them on a subject they have pretty much zero expertise in?
Oh you were in the military so apparently that excuses you agreeing with them when it's so obviously wrong? bullshite. You are agreeing with them because the power of what they've done has creeped into your brain. I've caught myself saying 'assault rifle' more times than I can count because of just how powerful the propaganda offensive has been and I most definitely know better.
Do you seriously not understand that you are now playing the game by their rules?
Just answer the question.
Why on earth would you be so quick to help them with their agenda when it's most definitely not in your best interest? Makes no difference if you own an AR or not. If you haven't figured out they are attacking the Second Amendment one brick at a time by now you really need to reevaluate how intelligent you actually are and go get educated. Because otherwise, you are simply a useful tool of the left in making up the poll numbers that will eventually take this into areas where you will wonder how the frick we got there.
And yes. Words have meaning. That's the entire point of them. They convey meaning. They have definitions. Stop being so fricking ignorant of that fact while they use that weapon so freely. Fight words, with words. Because the alternative is going to end with tyranny and your kids and grandkids will one day ask you what you did to stop it. And if your answer is "well, I didn't do shite till they came for lever actions" they're going to see you down to the core for what you are.
Don't ask me to pat you on the back for being stupid. You're worse than they are because YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER. Get over your ego about people pointing out shite you should already know.

No it was because .22-variant rifles with 10+ round magazines and ones that looked "evil" like an AR15 were on the "will ban" list.
What's crazy is people never thought in their entire life that they would see a shortage of 22 ammo. And now you're going to be in denial about the real cause? Come on man. It's pretty damn easy to see. Nothing can cause hysteria like government tacking the word "ban" on something. If they came out tomorrow and said "we're running a bill through to ban chocolate" you would see a rush like never before. The POLITICIANS created this hysteria. It was not some random coincidence.

Caught with their pants down because of the hysteria created by the politicians... It ALL goes back to them.

The hysteria was caused by consumers. The politicians were not panic buying the ammo.
I pay the NRA to handle that shite for me and I trust they'll do a good job as they have in the past.

So where in all this would a reasonable person expect to see .22 LR be unavailable even if a 'ban' on the weapon occurred.
You picked the word hysteria, I like that word.

The hysteria was a RESULT of the president saying he wished to ban things immediately after SH, it was not the cause.
Go and ask someone who had never bought a firearm up to that point. "Well I'm buying one because I want one before they're banned." I have heard that quote so many times and it sums it up perfectly to show that it was created by politicians.

I never thought a day would come when you couldn't roll down to Wallmarks to buy a brick of 22. Of my shooting enthusiast friends, they also couldn't believe it.
EDIT: Hysteria...

Me either, ever.
I also know that 90% of the .22 in the world would not be affected by the ban even if it occurred.
but rational thought eluded a small segment of the population, and THEY created an ammunition shortage and THEY gave the retailer the means to raise prices thru the roof, because no matter what the prices were THEY kept gobbling it up.

you can have all the degrees and pieces of paper on the wall you want...we get it...you can buy an education...but you can't buy common sense...
