Want to know why 22lr is hard to find?

Gouging aside, most new in-store/online prices we're seeing right now are the new normal.

Component prices have gone up as the manufacturers have warned about for two years.

Get used to it.

If the ammo is priced too high for you, do not buy it and just be patient as those high prices (gouging prices) will probably come down in time. That is until "Big Brother" decides to place a new ammo tax on each and every round which may even include all ammo components. Also, don't be too surprised if someday, before too long, there will be an attempt to initiate some type of BGC placed on ammo sales too.

actually there already is a tax on ammo and Im sure they are taxed in many more ways.

The FAET applies an 11% tax rate on ammunition

Well, it is coming down a little, there is an advert on Armslist for Remington Thunderbolt for "only" $3.00 per box. I can remember buying this at at my local gun shop and Walmart for $4.95 to $5.95 a brick. I bought a brick once and I never bought another box of Thunderbolt again. Must be the worst .22LR ever made.

NY SAFE act. Same with CT

Connecticut’s ‘Ammunition Eligibility Certificate’ Defined

as of October 1, 2013 there will be no legal sales of ammunition or magazines to any Connecticut resident who has not passed a national criminal background check, and is in good standing with regard to such check

Is a fee charged for the check? (I'm sure) Do they report the number of rounds you are buying. Just wondering what life will be like in Colorado in the future.

OK then, in that case I'll say still another NEW tax or an additional NEW tax that has not been levied yet. They aren't finished screwing around with us yet on taxing everything associated with hunting and/or shooting.

Be glad we have TABOR. You think they would have stopped at a fee for a BG check if they didn't have to put a new tax up for a statewide vote?

do some research on the NY SAFE act and CT's ammo permit. Scarey isn't the word for it.
