About what is happening with all the 22 ammo

Member Posts: 40,519 ✭✭✭✭
my ammo dealer explained it to me like this tonight. The government is buying millions of round of 22 lr ammo and shredding it, and then burying it in a land fill in Arizona. He showed me and my friend a picture of it. The man is honest, so I tend to believe him. Is it true or not, I don't know. The pictures could be photo shopped. I am just repeating what he told me. He received about 100 cases of federal 22's and 500 cases of cci 22's. All of it is sold already except a few cases which he sold me one. He is also going to sell me a case of federals when they come back in, in about two months. I need them for the pistol league but not all of it. When it comes in, I will let you guys know and sell a few boxes for cost. I will only sell to you if they are for your kids or grand kids to shoot. I will take your word for it.These are the rules. He said the bricks were some wheres between 13 to 15 dollars a brick. I will sell two of them. I want to share with my GB family members. Oakie

Any way possible to post the pix U mentioned? I would really like to see what U saw John..It's not that I doubt OUR government would do such a thing. Let's just say i am a little skeptical..SUnza bitchez!![:(!]
No jeff, He just showed them to us and put them back in his brief case. Like I said, I don't know if they were photo shopped or not. I just took his word for it cause he has no reason to deceive me. he is the ammo dealer for all the police departments of South Jersey. We got talking about it and he reached into his brief case and pulled out the photo. Our Gov. really sucks if they are doing this.

Oakie, very nice of you to offer to share when you get some extra, but I doubt that guy will be getting anymore ammo at all. The black helicopters are likely descending on him as I type this.
Seriously though, what was shown in the picture, a landfill, or a bullet shredding machine? Theres a pretty significant difference between those two despite how intricately they can be related in folklore.[;)][:D]

It was a close up of 22 cases with the lead bullets grounded up in a pile at a land fill. Just shredded brass. That's why I thought it was photo shopped but I took him for his word. Didn't bother to ask where he got the photo. I will have to ask him when I see him next time. Who knows what the hell is going on. All this ammo is going some wheres and it's sure not out to the general public. I am just glad I got some from him. You do see more and more becoming available though.
My mind keeps telling me that the Gov. is BROKE so,their's no way they are buying ammo of any kind,just to shred it up.
Then it hits me that their spending OUR MONEY TO DO IT!!!![V][V][:(!]
This guy has been selling it by the thousands [:0][B)][:(!]

There is no shortage of .22 ammo. Nor is the government buying it up. We are buying it up, and holding on to it. Tens of millions of panic buyers, newbies to the shoot'n sports, hoarders, gougers, Fraidy Cats, profiteers, wussies, dim wits and danged smart shoppers scoring deals are leaving the normal calm and limited funds buyers with the short end of the stick.
Over two years ago I was at a Crossroads of the West gun show at the Arizona State Fairgrounds. One of the biggest, the largest each year in Arizona anyway. There was one seller there, in this case had only .223/5.56 ammo in zip-lock bags. Mixed brands, but all standard 55gr FMJ. They had sealed white plastic 5 gallon buckets of it.
Over 100,000 Rounds!
Their story was they bought out a Prepper. The guy had all these buckets in the back of his garage. He'd prepared them to bury in his backyard. You know, "Just in case".
That's just one Prepper and one caliber and it was well before the worst of the panic.

I had a guy tell me at wallmart that they were all being recalled to add microscopic tags so they could be traced to the person who bought them. [;)]
I appreciate you're thinking of holding some for those without.
My daughter and I are ok for .22 But that is a kind offer.
they must have a small army lined up at all the stores or has a heck of a inside connection to have that much 22 for sale [V]

I know this guy personally.
Everything he has been selling on here for the last 7 months
is ammo that he ordered in the early aftermath of Newtown.
Even now he is receiving multiple cases that have been on
backorder for a year or more. As Chris pointed out,
he's not the only person doing this.
I suspect he and others like him are a significant factor
in the current shortage of ammo reaching store shelves.
[:(][:(][:(]I am sorry I even brought this up. Just trying to relate what was told to me. Like I said, I don't know if it is the truth and was seeing if anyone else heard this also.
To answer directly, don't be sorry. He likely means well, but he's been told spooky tales that make no sense.
This particular spooky tale I had not heard until now. Others, but not this one.
As Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."

I read your post. All I'm saying is your ammo guy is full of crap. If that makes me a keyboard commando, oh well.[;)]
