for a time, almost everything and anything on the shelve (except shotguns) was flying out the doors, because of the anti-gun movement in Washington D.C.. but now that all of that has slowed down, and since the so called "ammo shortage" has not, it makes me wonder how much this is slowing gun sales. why buy a firearm, if the place you are buying it from, can not even sell you enough ammo to sight it in, let alone have enough to shoot, and have fun with?! i see hunting rifle ammo on the shelf quite often. but handgun ammo, and especially rimfire ammo, has been missing long enough for the shelf's to collect a fairly thick layer of dust in many stores.
