You had it correct in post #21, M855 is the new 22LR, not .223, let's not make this "panic" any worse than it already is.

I was at Gander Mountain tonight picming up an internet order of .22LR.
They had more M855 than you can shake a stick at. Of course, it is all at their "normal" price of [panic]
Well, I've refrained from posting in this because I was so pissed about it. First it was the 7n6 and nobody gave a shit because it didn't affect their Ar15s accept us who shoot it. Now they are screwing with the AR15s and everybody is in an uproar.
This has gone too far.....
Emails have been sent and phone calls will be made to Senators, Reps and the ATF scumbags. I suggest you all do the same.
Remember when they were going to start scraping the spend military brass instead of selling it on the market and the internet went freaking nuts? We all lit up the phones of a few select legislators that sit on a certain committee and it was reversed in less than a week.
With all the various bans that've happened in recent memory I've become a prepper. Not a TEOTWAWKI type prepper, but a shooting-sports prepper. My supply of M855/SS109 will last me...a while. I don't trust the gov't with pretty much anything related to gun ownership.
Maybe making better armor should be their goals? It seems like a false sense of security to depend on armor that is easily defeated by commonly used ammo. Maybe they don't have stock in armor companies just ammo makers but it doesn't seem like a good use of tax money to try and ban ammo.
Just called my rep and Senator Gardner.
Gardners office says I was the first one to call about it. That makes me very disappointed.
We all need to light up his phones.

I put in an order at Brownell's the day the news broke, everything showing in stock, even after I ordered. I received confirmation and a notice that it would ship. Then yesterday I received notice that my order was canceled. Bastards. [fail]
