Ammo Shortage???

I find the current shortage kind of strange and wonder about the "real reasons" for the shortages??? Just heard 22 rim fire is now hard to get as well as .380, 9mm, and .45 auto. First, prices shot up...and now with the high prices...some ammo is quite scarce.
What is really going on????? THANKS!!!

There are more gun owners now than ever before in American history, including CCW holders.
There are more law enforcement 'SWAT' type agencies that need ammo for practice and training now than ever before.
The Obama administration election has caused lots of people who otherwise wouldn't have bought guns to buy guns. Of course, they're also buying ammo. Its also caused people who do own guns to stockpile/hoard ammo, in case of future bans or tax increases.
Add this all together, and the manufacturers simply can't keep up with the demand.
At some point people will stop hoarding and supplies will catch up, but nobody knows when that point will be, and it will probably take at least several months to a year.
Hoarding. People fear Obama and the Democratic Congress, they're fearful over the economy, and of course there's the good old standby of the fear of zombies.[:D][:o)]
So now I know what that ugly thing was I saw in the woods just behind the rifle range backstop. Sure was slow movin! Took it 15 minutes to cross the range. Shore wish it woulda been in front of the backstop.

That wasnt a zombie, it was the money you could save by switching to Gieco.
No Idea seems like Olin and ATk arent turning out as much as usual. Smoe people say they are filling contracts, Some people say they havent got back up to full capacity after the DOD brass scare. I dont know whats going on, All I know is If you see ammo for your guns at a reasonable price you should buy as much as you can afford.
