I haven't seen the video but we do we really know the date(s) it was taken or are we to take at face value it was done during the shortage? Two million rounds per day sounds huge but that represents 4000 bricks of 500 (3536 bricks of 550). 4000 bricks spread across how many stores across 50 states (80 bricks per state per day).
The shortage/non existence of 22 LR is real, it has gone on for most of the year and as far as I can see it persists for whatever the reason(s), and they are not good for sportsmen.
