There's a war. Maybe you've heard about it.

Anyway, the military used up its stockpiles of ammo. That wouldn't have been a problem if President Bill hadn't also closed all but one government ammo plant (Lake City). Now, to make up for the empty warehouses, all the ammo makers are scrambling 24-7 to supply the troops.

That means there's no excess capability to sell anything to us. But don't hoard. That's exactly what causes bare shelves when the supply is limited. Buy a thousand when and if you need them, but don't scarf up fifty or a hundred thou to squirrel away. The drought will end. If you choose to take the hoarding route, may the guy ahead of you be of like mind.

For my own part, if the troops need the ammo, they can have all of mine.
