This may be true so why is there no ammunition to be found? Go to any online firearm/amunition resource and they all say out of stock on ammo. One site, Georgia Arms, says their production backlog is running 2-9 months out.
There is plenty of ammo at Gunbroker.com.
IMHO, Because we are our own worst enemy. As soon as Obama got reelected ammo and guns started flying off the shelves. People are buying in blind panic.
The same thing happened in '08. Ammo shortages were not quite as bad then, you could always find .22 rimfire. However, 5.56 and .308 was next to impossible to find for the longest time. This time around not only do you have panic buyers but profiteers who are buying anything and everything and reselling at inflated prices. Even blackpowder supplies have nearly vanished from the store shelves.
What's happening now with the ammo is what happens to food and bottled water here in Florida when a major hurricane threatens us. The only difference is this threat will be with us for quite a while. People see this and they're not letting up on the panic buying.
