I never said the shortage is due to a lack of materials. I said that may be “part” of the problem.

I think the current shortages of some types of ammunition is due to multiple causes....kind of a “perfect storm” affecting the supply chain.

Some of it also may be due to manufacturers deliberately cutting back on production to increase the price and profit per unit sold. It wouldn’t be the first time in history that happened.

I see. Seems like understanding this should be easier. It isn’t like we need to crack the National Archives with a FOIA! What do the end market stores say? The middlemen? The manufacturer? It has been almost 2 years since I have been able to walk into a Walmart and buy some 22 longs.....What constitutes short term?

Good grief! Reading the stuff you write is like listening to Pravda's candidate, Chris C.
