Not dodging anything, and nothing has been proven. It's all pure speculation at this point. Once a law is passed it doesn't immediately become the law of the land. Remember HB380..that took what, 6-7 months before it became law? How hard is it to find .22 ammo during a buying frenzy, how long does it take before supply comes back? The timetable will encompass more than just how long it is before you could buy one over the counter, there will have to be product available for purchase.Now this is a valid point, but it is also dodging your original post that was proven exaggerative. I completely agree prices will rise as demand spikes drastically.
Here's how I'm looking at it.
9-12 months to pass (if it does)
6 months before it becomes law
A shortage that makes the rimfire ammo shortage look like a blip on the radar.
