I'm sure a few of the posters here have been trying to buy ammo, just practice stuff. There is practically nothing on the shelves. Any opinions as to why???

It has now been determined that ammo kills people, not guns.
Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my
shotgun right in the doorway. I set down 6 shells, and even placed
it in my wheelchair.
I then left it alone and went about my
business. While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the
neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her
dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop
sign right in front of our house.
After about an hour, I checked on
the gun. It was still sitting there right where I had left it. It hadn't
rolled itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the
numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it
hadn't even loaded itself.
Well you can imagine my surprise, with
all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they
kill people. Either the media is wrong, and it's the misuse of guns
by PEOPLE that kills people, or I'm in possession of the laziest
gun in the world.
Alright, well I'm off to check on my spoons. I
hear they're making people fat.

Self Banished you are at least 6 months behind. Ammo is at a new low. It's because of a little thing called supply and demand. Apparently Mr. Obama has decided that all governmental departments are to buy ammunition, like the IRS and DHS as well as many many others. They are stockpiling ammo like crazy so the masses can't.
Here is one theory on what is going on...

Should have gone to the Wells Gun Show. You could have stocked up on some there, depending on what you were looking for of course.

Here is one theory on what is going on... http://www.wnd.com/2013/02/why-is-government-stockpiling-guns-ammo/"I think it’s worth recalling here that just over a year ago both houses of Congress unwisely passed the defense reauthorization bill that killed the concept of habeas corpus – legislation that authorized the president to use the U.S. military to arrest and indefinitely detain American citizens without charge or trial. That legislation would empower a lame-duck Obama to use all of the power of the federal government – constitutional and unconstitutional – to target his political enemies."
Wow. Not the Hope and Change we were thinking of, is it?

Yes Amy, the question may be 6 months behind but I'm not.
One of the oddities I noticed is .22 ammo on the shelves is as rare as Libs with valid opinions. Why .22 ammo?

Since .22 ammo is cheap to begin with, most people are buying that in large amounts to target practice with.
I have been considering buying an .17HMR rifle, the ammo is cheap and plentiful down here.
The other issue is, why are ammo companies fulfilling orders to the govt when they can make way more money selling to the people, then what ever is left over the govt can buy.
If I was an ammo company I would fill orders to the masses before I would fill orders to DHS, FBI, etc.. The people need ammo more so than the govt.

There are companies realizing the government snatch and doing something about it. They have been on a four year buying spree. This is the same government that is trying its damnest to impost gun control, all while buying up virtually every gun and box of ammo produced.
My hopes are the ammunition companies will follow suit.

^ I've seen the list and it grows more impressive everyday but we need some of the big boys to play this game too. Glock, Sig, S&W etc would get some attention quick.
