Ya, and that $9.99 brick was only 2-3 yrs ago,I'm sure it's only going to get better. I'm sure it some how has something to do with the gas prices, maybe ,middleast unrest, OH! OH! mabye this one , price of tea in china, howbout missalignment of the earth moon and stars?????? I'm sure there's some lamo reason!! What it is , the consitution dosn't say anything about ammo, it's just a backdoor style gun grab, ammo grab in this case. I bought my 22, 5000rnd case as soon as I saw that trend imerging. It's all about tax's and gun grabbers, have you got it yet ??
