A conspiracy theory. Friend and gun shop owner Christopher Claunch talked to me about the shortage of :22 caliber ammo. "There was a shortage of ammo and that was real. The real hoarding began when the panic hit the market and I believe that was also in conjunction with the administration change in the fear of gun and ammo laws. The government can't really take the guns but they can control the ammo. They can also buy the ammo because they buy tons of it. They use it for military training and such. Whether or not any of this was ever substantiated or proven, the behavior in the marketplace was not unlike the day the stock market dropped 700 points. There was no fundamental reason for it that day but when the thing started rolling down, companies were going out of business. The hysteria began and it created a life of its own. I have done research on it and I am sharing a pretty common notion that the hysteria created the hoarding, the hoarding created the black market, the black market profitability created more people that were out of work or whatever seeing the opportunity to jump into the black market and it still happens today. There may be government conspiracies out there that the government actually went around and bought all of the :22 ammo. I have watched and felt the hysteria."

You heard Chris say he's not positive about all of this but he has done his research. Draw your own conclusions.
