There is no “artificial scarcity” in this case.
Production is running 24/7 all over the world, and cannot keep up with demand.
The scarcity is real.
But it’s only at WalMart. Every gun store I’ve been in during this “crisis” has plenty of ammo of all types. So either WalMart’s had a supply chain problem on one item for years and years, or they’re faking it. The scarcity is artificial, just go to stores not names WalMart.
