Aren’t they buying massive quantities of guns and ammo to create a shortage for citizen gun owners?

BINGO
that is part of it. they are also creating the shortage to increase the cost of whatever people can find.

That’s really not how economics works. Guns and ammo are relatively simple products to manufacture, since they don’t require any exotic materials. So, if they tell ammunition manufacturers that they want to buy 1.6 billion rounds over an extended period of years, then the manufacturers are just going to scale up production to meet the new demand.
If there’s an ammunition shortage, it’s because of increased panic buying on the part of the public, which is an unexpected drain on the supply that manufacturers couldn’t account for ahead of time.

I stopped in to speak with a friend who works at a large sporting goods store and he said they have been told not to anticipate receiving any substantive ammunition shippments until October.
As I left the store, I glanced at the shelves that once held ammunition and there was a professionally drafted sign that stated that the current shortage of ammunition was caused by civilian hoarders who bought up large quantities of ammo and now sell it on the internet for a large profit.
I’d never seen the sign before, but I was tempted to cross out “civilian” and write “government” in its place.
We all know this is merely a tactic used in place of gun control......allow people to own guns, but make it impossible for them to purchase ammunition.
EODGUY
I said the same thing from the getgo. Their own way to kill the 2nd Amendment, bypassing Congress as is their usual MO.
When will this evil be stopped? And Bozo has 3 yrs. and 9 mos. to go to complete his destruction of the country and all of us along with it. I despise those that gave him another 4 years.
create and maintain a shortage
