Perhaps there is a room for a civilian market only ammo maker but I don't see how they will compete the large makers that sells billions of rounds (which the government will buy as fast as they make it). Nor does government care about cost, after all it isn't their money they are spending. It almost seems like intent (duh) that the government is driving up the cost and decreasing supply by going on a spending spree right now.
Republicans should put forward a plan calling for a moratorium on any new gun and ammo sales. Only replacements should be purchased for at least the next 3 years until the markets settle.
