Unlike the past election years why are ammo prices not skyrocketing?

Because Hillary hasn't been elected yet. If you're going to buy ammo and or gun parts and magazines, now is the time to do it.

Make your own...fly under the radar! ;)
Added bonus of rolling your own, when ammo prices go wackadoo, most components are still readily available generally speaking, with a handful of exceptions.

I have a safe full of .22 and .45 rounds. I am not a gun guy but I own a few and I kept hearing of a .22 shortage so I bought up a bunch The .22 is my wife's plinker gun so I have to keep that well stocked. Can anyone shed some light on the continuing shortage of .22 ammo? Am I missing something? It is still hard to find in Omaha but at my cabin in Northern Min it is easy to find.

.22 ammo here in California is still in short supply. I drove to Arizona a month ago and the shelves were stacked with it.
Our crazy tree hugging governer just signed a bill that next year I have to go through a backround check to buy ammo. And all my guns that hold over 10 rounds are no longer "grand fathered" in, I'm supposed to voluntary surender them. YIKES !

I guess those assholes don't understand what shall not be infringed means

They keep infringing simply because we have allowed it. And they will continue to do so until a breaking point is reached... we either slip silently into tyranny and become slaves of the state, or we do something about it. I don't think we as a people have the guts to do something about it anymore...sad as that is to say, I believe it to be true.

Holy straight jacketed...I heard the morons were toying with these notions. I can't believe that actually is starting.
I am ex military and a oath keeper...this is one subject that bothers the wee out of me. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/08/foghorn/atf-re-classification-means-ammunition-might-become-scarce/ https://www.nraila.org/articles/20131025/end-of-an-era-last-us-lead-smelter-to-close-in-december
I read about that a while back. Nice how they use a agency like the EPA to do that.
The atf making nitrocellulose labeled as a explosive is huge. Idk if ya saw there is two links there(not good at the link thing) ..the first link is on nitrocellulose used to make gunpowder. Gunpowder is really hard to find around here. As soon as it comes in it gets scarfed up quick

What constitutional authority does the BATF have over making laws that dictates what alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives the people get to own and possess? NONE!!!!!
Abolish these crazy liberty robbing Bureaucrats out of existence. All of them!!

Already a reality here in NY thanks to the (un)Safe-Act of 2013. Thankfully it has not been implemented, nor is it even close to being so as the infrastructure needed is nowhere near ready.

Just like the EPA, the BATF has been given the authority to "regulate" by congress.... And therein lies the problem... Create an unelected, unaccountable regulatory agency, congress grants it the power to "regulate", regulations carry the full weight and penalty of law. Abolish regulatory agencies.
Oh and I have no earthly clue how they can call smokeless powder explosive. It is very mild in terms of volatility compared to black powder. Ask your local LGS how much more stringent and cumbersome the maintenance of a license to store and sell black powder is compared to smokeless... Hold a match to a teaspoon size pile of loose BP and see what happens... DO the same with smokeless, it will burn like a sparkler. It needs pressure along with an intense ignition source to explode and fire the projectile...unlike BP....

As far i know Black powder is a low explosive and smokeless powder just smokes and fizzes. What is more dangerous is the flash powder used in caps and primers.

As explosives go, it certainly is less intense than say C4. It takes alot more BP to make the same amount of explosive energy in C4.. But it is still volatile, all it takes is a stray spark and it WILL go boom... Same is absolutely untrue of smokeless.. Like you said, it fizzes. Kind of like the difference between gasoline and diesel fuel if you'll allow the analogy.

I watched a documentary some where ( Or read it here somewhere ) that manufacturers that produce 22LR DON'T make a profit off of them. And that's why they are in short supply and cost $45 for 500 rounds for 22.
I honestly like 17HMR better after the whole 22 shortage. 17 was getting hard to find but not too bad. 17HMR is my go to gun for a rabbit gun

I know a guy that has blasting caps. Was at my uncle's place and I heard a huge boom and im thinking "aww shnit! Someone accidently shot a gun inside the house". In the corner of my eye I see a dust cloud about 3 miles away. My uncle says " 'soenso' is playing with caps again."
Thought I'd share since we are talking about explosives

Three or four years ago, I would have vehemently disagreed with you, Joe. After this election cycle/media circus/grand brainwashing I now wholeheartedly agree with you.
