This is JMHO and that is all. I remember 2008. My daughters wanted to shoot their little Ruger rifles. It was all I could do to get enough ammo to let them shoot. Never had previously had problems buying plain Jane .22 LR, much less .38 Special, .45 ACP and certainly not 9mm. FMJ rifle ammo went crazy. I remember. So ... over the years I've made it a practice to buy ammo when it was affordable. Right now, if you can find affordable 9mm, .22 LR ... buy it. It doesn't eat. It doesn't rot. Buy it. In the recent go round of short supply and high prices, I had church members who were in the same boat as I was in back in 2008. I gave them ammo. I gave ammo to men I saw at the range w/ their children/grandchildren. Hurts to see someone having to basically ration ammo to a child. Stinks. The smile on that child's face ... and the response of the parent is worth the price paid. My grandchildren live up north and have no opportunities to go shooting. When they get down here to Ga., they have opportunities! We use a Bugassault on the back porch. Salt is cheap. Fun to shoot bugs, leaves, etc. Later, when they are old enough ... there are two Red Ryder's waiting ... and two 10-22's. So ... I'm keeping an eye out for salt ... and BB's ... and .22 LR!!! And, for my son-in-law ... I'm also watching for .38 Specials and 9mm. Sincerely. bruce.
