I watched a vid from a youtuber, Colion Noir, yesterday discussing this very topic and he makes some good points because we also wonder about "conspiracies" - In the last year there's been like 5-8 million NEW gun owners in the US. All those new folks have to buy ammo so there's hundreds of millions of rounds JUST from the new gun owners. So conspiracy? it makes for juicy chit-chat, but it may just be a matter of numbers. the best thing that ever happens to the firearms industry in America is usually an election especially with our new bozo who claims to want to take em away from us - So, we stock up *I lost all of mine in a boating accident fyi* and people go to hoarding - no different than toilet paper.

i dont think its a gov conspiracie. i think its ammo manufacturers or distributers or somone somwhere down the line just throttling the supply. otherwise explain to me why america cant get american ammo but the uk and most of the EU can get the stuff no problem and at the same price weve always got it for. This is like the 7th or 8th ammo shortage you guys have had in the last 10 years and it for sure wont be the last. youd think if it is just a straight up "we cant make it as quick as you want it" at least one of the big names would have expanded, increased production capabilities, or started to stock pile themselves when times are good, ammo take decades to go bad. its always the same "this has suprised us were running the factory round the clock, in the mean time pay 300% on what we drip feed you".

Oh I have no doubts that the makers enjoy a little chaos and take advantage of it. Greed is a mighty powerful drug that has a constant cast of addicts.
