There is so much misinformation and conspiracy BS out there... Read this
THE GREAT DHS AMMUNITION STOCKPILE MYTH for some real facts.
I've already explained this if you care to read my post on the previous past of this thread. The ammo "shortage" is entirely self inflicted, it's straight up supply and demand, the current political climate has lead to record demand both from hoarders, gougers/resellers, and new shooters. Ammo manufacturers are operating at their maximum production, and it just isn't enough. So it will remain this way until either; A: demand drops off... or B: manufacturers expand their production facilities (which would take several months/years to do)
How the hell can you hoard if it's not available to hoard?
Again, ammo makers are making and shipping more ammo and ever before. You're not seeing it in stores because people are literally waiting for the delivery trucks and grabbing it up before it even hits the shelves. Stores will get a pallet of ammo in that used to last them for a month, and it will literally be gone in a few hours. If you have a good relationship with any retailers talk to them and see if they will hold a box or two for you next time it comes in, because unless you're willing/able to stand in lines, or stalk delivery trucks, that may be the only way to get some.
