This has been pretty obvious for a while, not certain why people have such trouble accepting this simple explanation. It's self-stustaining with a positive feedback loop - panic buying causes shortages, the reports of which cause more panic buying.
Wait till there is a dollar melt down and the food disappears from the supermarket shelves in a buying panic. The ammo shortfall will look like child’s play when they get that one going.
Look, the shelves are empty.
I better buy all they have when they restock.

Not just that, gougers are guying up all the stock and selling at huge markups on armslist, gunbroker, gun shows, and even some retailers. See CTD for example.
Exactly. Waiting for the storm to pass...
While I agree with you, I wouldn’t call it panic for panic’s sake. The fears are real and the intentions of the gun grabbers are more real. These people are out for a total ban on guns and ammo for citizens not aligned with them ideologically.
