I really don't understand the whole 22lr thing, Is this cal that effn important? If you happen to stumble on a brick at ur local store buy it!! I'd much rather shoot a 45 but thats just me.
Why such the great need for 22? I could understand if it was cheap to shoot BUT ITS NOT!!!

If you think about it, what essential role does .22lr play? It's a terrible self-defense round, and for hunting, I can name you several dozen cartridges that are superior in almost every way. There is only one reason for people to be hoarding that round, and it's because there are still enough idiots out there that will pay inflated prices for it. This is just my opinion, but if you're a person that's frustrated about the 22lr shortage, don't be mad at the hoarders and flippers. Be upset with the fools that think they have to have 22's and will pay through the nose to get it. If people would stop being stupid about buying the stuff for six months, watch how fast the flippers and gougers slam on the brakes.
Education, training, practice, small game hunting. I don't know what cartridge that is superior that actually leaves the animal intact. It's a tool and has its place, use the correct tool for the job.
You're missing my point. I said what ESSENTIAL function does .22lr play? You don't NEED to have .22lr to train and practice. It's just nice to have on a cost basis. As for hunting, if I have to make sure my families bellies get full, I'm going to pack my 12 gauge shotgun before I grab my 10/22. If we're talking hunting deer, you may have more success sneaking up and clubbing it to death with your .22 rifle versus shooting it.
stopped by our LGS and they had boxes of 9mm Blazer for $39...
Also had mil surp AR-15 mags for $25-$39.
I'm not complaining though, they sell what people will pay for it.

A good 22LR with a scope squirrel hunting on a nice fall day... hard to beat for my perspective.
