The article sounds right to me. At OGC we can get ammo for the customers, and the OGC Club Store is doing an ever increasing business for members, and 9mm is going for about $12 a box for members. We can get 9mm, 40, 45, and .223, although in limited quantities, and the prices aren't bad.
We CANNOT, however, get ANY 22LR ammo at all. Zero. Zip. Nada. It simply isn't available. Dunno where it's all going. Considering the number of Ruger 10/22's out there which became potential assault rifles, plus all the other 22 rifles, I think the least experienced segment of the gun owners all went bonkers and bought it all up. Plus the gougers and wannabe ammo moguls with their cellphones roaming FF and Wally Mart trying to make a cheap legal buck, which allows them as little less exposure from their usual pastime, which is selling crack to kids. (Not seriously suggesting this, but I think crack dealers and these ammo vultures are made from the same kind of slime, and I hope that they wind up in the same place in Hell...
