            From The Lewiston-Tribune in Idaho this morning... Ammunition hard to come by

            We can't meet demand. We can't afford to invest in new infrastructure just to have it sit idle. We're producing as fast as we can. Nobody has ammo. It's new shooters, the paranoid, hunters, profiteers... Don't blame us.

            Same 'ole, same 'ole.

              These manufacturers think it's temporary? Under the enemy's full control of the government AND mail in elections?
              If they up infrastructure, they (customers) will come. For a long time.

                    I seriously doubt that anyone knows which way price & availability is headed.

                      Frustration over the ammo shortage has created some pretty fun conspiracy theories. These are probably the top three: 1) companies are stockpiling their product to drive up demand; 2) ammo plants have shutdown completely; 3) ammo companies are in cahoots to stop selling to civilians and are now selling only to the military. It’s worth noting that similar conspiracy theories cropped up during the panic buying and ammo shortages of 2014. It’s also worth noting that none of these conspiracy theories are true. The reality of the ammo shortage is a lot less provocative. After a few years of tough sledding, ammo companies now simply can’t keep up with the unprecedented demand.

                        As far as I can tell, the shortage only started about 9-12 months ago. Before then, I was able to get whatever I wanted at a fraction of current prices.
