Commifornian here. Every gun store in my city has been picked clean of .22LR, even the ones selling it for 20 cents per round. I can't even find .22 short, which I can fire because I have a bolt action rifle. Looks like everyone went out and panic bought after Orlando and the new laws. Am I going to have to just sit on my rifle until November?

Buy it online. Go to ammoseek. Might as well stock up before nobody ships to Cali due to ammo background checks.
Buy at least 1000 Centerfire rounds of all calibers you shoot and plan on shooting, online and now.
5000 to 10000 .22lr
Go across the border to Nevada, Oregon, Or Arizona. Buy rounds there in bulk and drive back home.
It's not illegal and that's what people are gonna do in 2019 anyway
Non-american here - why is it gone?
Why aren't there small businesses pumping it out like there's no tomorrow?
>>30485800
I'd rather not. Those places (beside Oregon which is farther away) are kinda known for their racism and general intolerant beliefs. I wouldn't be comfortable going there at all.
>>30485801
Hoarders and speculators
>>30485801
Because California's about the get ammo background checks, so business is going to dry up heavily. Not because gun owners are felons, but just because of ease of use and more hoops to jump through for a box.
It's not worth producing more for this shortage when soon demand will go down.

1. people panic buy when something gets banned or significant political shifts are anticipated. it happens with ammunition, drugs, toilet paper, and condoms.
2. it is expensive to manufacture ammunition on an industrial scale. a small shop can pump out a few ten thousand a day working full time with dedicated equipment and employees. that is a lot of investment of capital for a short term demand, where it is more economically viable to leverage capital on distributing bulk commercial ammunition locally and then stopping when demand stops.
3. california in particular has passed a bill that halts the legal purchase of ammunition outside of a face to face transaction. this also includes a fee and an ID system to and requires delivery to specifically licensed ammo dealers. many stores will elect to just not participate and stop selling ammo. many distributors will not comply with the demands of CA and will halt shipping to CA entirely. hence why people are worried.
personally, i'm exempt, but i plan on using my exemption to buy ammo for others with a small profit of beer or sausages.

>>30485774
I don't have or plan on acquiring any centerfire guns because I'm too much of a twig to fire anything bigger than .22LR without getting blown over by the recoil. I'll just try to get more .22LR.
>>30485853
Don't forget the background checks to buy ammo. Training for any kind of competition is going to mean a lot of work for whoever is doing those checks, because that means buying 400 rounds of .22 LR a week, probably in 4 transactions that each need a background check because even when they have .22LR retailers limit sales to 100 rounds per day.
>>30486202
>I'm too much of a twig to handle anything bigger than .22
Dude you'll be fine, I was always a skinny little twig and I was able to handle 20 gauge at 12, and there's videos of kids younger than that handling full retard guns just fine.
>>30485801
No. It's not worth the cost to devote new machinery to putting out a cheap product. Demand is higher and productivity is the same. If price went up enough, then it would be worth it. But then it will lose its status as a cheap plinking round. Some gun magazine had an article on it.
>>30485716
>>30485830
Normally I would bitch about horders buying up all the ammo, but now that these new laws passed I don't blame people.
For all we know they will only grant three dealers in the whole state ammo licenses and there might be waiting list and rationing. Sure you can go to Arizona or whatever to buy ammo, but who is to say between now and January they don't enact laws that make it a felony to carry bullets into the state from another state?
Before you say that will never happen look at the laws that were just passed. Would you risk getting stopped and getting charged with a felony? A cop can make any reason for stopping you and at the rate the fourth amendment is going they can search you ....

the worst idea, the stocking dude at walmart already knows jethro and jimbob and holds all of his .22 for them
The walmart near me, literally, has not physically restocked their ammo case in over a year

Though it would work with a gyrojet.
>>30485716
>nothing of value was lost
9mm can be found for around the same price online anon.
So can 7.62x39 (certain sites have it for as low as 20 cents a round just for the stuff that's in stock)
Seriously; .22 is fucking pointless nowadays except for being suppressed.
>>30485716
Buy 22lr online.
>>30485939
All gas stations used to be full service up until 1950 or so, when self-service gas stations started popping up. Of course some legislators (in New Jersey and Oregon), being legislators, were scared of new things so they were quick to ban it.
Basically the same rationale behind banning hobby drones, or freaking out about 3D Printing, or sperging about 'salt weapons.

>ure you can go to Arizona or whatever to buy ammo, but who is to say between now and January they don't enact laws that make it a felony to carry bullets into the state from another state?
Wouldn't pass constitutional muster. That would be a grievous violation of the commerce clause. Congress specifically regulates that. Additionally, the legality of owning the ammunition is not in question, merely the method of procurement. It's not like marijuana where you can get it in Colorado, legally, but it's illegal to have in CA without a pot card. For CA to be able to stop people from running across state lines, they'd have to make the ammo itself a prohibited item.
>>30489213
I've never had to pay to put my dick in tho
>>30489258
You don't pay for putting it in, you pay for what comes out.
>>30489251
The commerce clause also prohibits states from imposing taxes or tariffs on goods purchased out of state, too. Bought anything on Amazon lately? Notice the "state sales tax" section?
The Constitution has been dead for a very, very long time now. There are no rules. There are no laws. There are only the whims of the Community-Organizer-in-Chief and the judges he appoints.

The reason Amazon is charging tax in your state is because they started putting warehouses in it.
>>30489132
1:Insert card in slot on pump or go to attendant and give him card or cash and tell him full tank or X dollars on pump Y(Y being the number of the pump you will be using)
2:remove the thing that looks like a gun from the pump and select fuel grade(this is accomplished by pushing the button on the pump that corresponds to the fuel grade you want)
3:remove gas cap on your vehicle
4:insert nozzle into fill hole as far as it will go
5:hold the trigger part on the fuel gun until tank is full or desired amount of gas is pumped
6:wait three seconds then remove fuel gun and place it back on it's holder on the pump
7:pay station attendant if you did not do this earlier
8:get receipt if desired
9:get back in your car and drive off
>>30489323
This. We just got one in our town across the interstate last year and are being charged sales tax because these things "technically" come from inside the state. As we all know, being "technically correct" is better than being regularly correct.

>be American of bean descemt

>>30489376
after step six, remove the pump half way from your car's vagina and "top off" your tank. Meaning you raise the nozzle a few inches so just the tip is inside the gas tank "input". This allows you to get that extra gallon or two before the liquid goes into the tip of the nozzle and shuts off the pump. Some stations have signs that say not to do this (not to "tip off" the tank) because it can cause spillage (if you'rr an idiot) but it's a good way to get an extra gallon or two before having to refill.
>live in Burbank CA
>a new Walmart is opened, sport section stocked with ammo.
>come back a few days later to see people buying in large bulks.

Walmart knows how to handle.
>>30489313
My state has an Amazon facility and the state has stipulated that any item purchased from Amazon, regardless of the source of the actual shipment, is purchased in state.
As of this time, Amazon only collects taxes in 25 states. It can't in some states, as they don't have sales taxes, and in some states specific categories are exempt (PA, for instance, won't generate a tax on Amazon for clothing.)
Bad example on your part, and the slippery slope argument after that is weak as well.
>>30489399
Depends on where you go in Nevada. Go into one of the richer, white, upper class stores/gas stations and just keep an extra eye on others and how they look at you, with an eye of suspicion like it's fucking WWII and we're Japs or something.
Fucking cunts across the border ruined it.
>>30489380
The term you're looking for is "sales nexus." Since Amazon is a business entity with an operational presence in your state, it counts.
Bonus, NC collects Amazon tax despite not having a warehouse there. Why? They own a data center in the Golden Triangle area. Again, "sales nexus."
>>30485818
I think you're better off without freedom, anon. Clearly California is the right amount of safe for you.
>>30489447
>sales nexus
Fucking hell, thanks.
I forgot to add that >>30489415
is correct. I live in WI and things I order off of Amazon that don't have an applicable sales tax (such as food/"necessary clothing") Amazon can't charge for. However they do and will gouge you and the State for every extra cent they can.
>>30489478
>can't charge sales tax for*
>>30485818
Kill yourself
>>30489413
>>30489376
Almost forgot, let's call this step zero:if your vehicle uses gasoline, make sure you do not grab the diesel fuel gun, and vice versa. The diesel one will usually be painted green.
>>30489376
>5:hold the trigger part on the fuel gun until tank is full or desired amount of gas is pumped
Oh man I am so glad every station I have been to has a flip up latch that locks the trigger so that you don't have to hold it the entire time you are filling up your tank.
>>30489487
diesel fuel nozzles are too big to fit through normal gasoline fuel doors
>>30489495
>has a flip up latch that locks the trigger
This doubles as a safety feature to prevent people from overfilling, which is why it "clicks" off when you are "full" (minus the two inches that the fucking nozzle takes up in your tank) and you have to reapply pressure to top off.
...and secondly, I knew how to pump gas at fucking 11. How do you make it to 24 and never pump a single gallon of gas in your life, or see others do it? I fear for your future. On top of this, the instructions to fill your tank are *PRINTED ON THE FUCKING PUMP*.
>>30485912
You from Kennewick? I'm in the TC as well.
>>30489537
the trigger lock isn't there as a safety. The pump will stop at a certain point of resistance regardless of whether you use the lock or not unless the pump is old or unkempt
>>30485716
Take a road trip out of state and bulk buy. Then sell them on the black market in California
>>30489566
You have to use the lock unless you're going to stand there with the pump held down the entire time, which would defeat the purpose of the lock, since the human is now the safety. Unless the pumps are different where you come from? I've been to a lot of places, but I've never crossed the Rockies. With or without the lock, with or without you holding the handle down to continue to pump, when the liquid inside the chosen container (gas tank, canister, whatever) reaches the nozzle and pushes that little lever across, it will not pump.
This is fact, try it the next time you are refilling. I am guessing you have never tried to purposely overfill your shit.
>>30486447
>?
Temporary demand? Some local shops across the US continent have been low our out for the past 5-7 years.
Albeit, it takes what, 1-4 million to get a decent .22lr production line started. I heard CCI/Speer turned on a new production line in Idaho.
>>30490229
We've had shortages here for the past 8 years according to some store owners.
>>30491242
>according to some owners
Depends on who you trusts and who trusts you. I have no doubt that more store owners than we think are hoarding the fuck out of the ammo for the next dead chillun incident. .22 has become an investment, save it until prices skyrocket and supply drops like the fucking Challenger, then all of the sudden your store has 15,000 rounds, but they can only sell you a box a day.
Fuck gun store owners. The few legitimate ones I have met that haven't tried to fuck me have had shit prices, and the others are scumbags morally. When you walk into the gun store and know more than the owner, you need to leave, regardless of the prices/how badly you wanted a particular weapon that only that store owns.
VET YOUR GUN STORE OWNERS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
