Yeah, cuz Caledonia sat down and made a law that specifically targeted .22 LR (1400fps) making it illegal to shoot, but on the same ground makes it ok to shoot a .17 HMR (2400fps) oh, and by the way if you don't have a "legal .17 HMR" then get your 12 ga semi auto out, that's ok. Just don't you dare shoot that .22LR, no no don't even think about it!
