Old news. Supply is getting better.

Our club ordered several pallets of ammunition from the Winchester factory in January. It was finally delivered in August and September.

Some useful information as well.
Some calibers are still not available.
Our shop has no .38 special, .44 magnum or .30-30.
As a handloader, I don’t understand why the manufacturers can’t meet the demand for bullets (projectiles), especially lead bullets. It’s the simplest component to make, isn’t it?
In Kentucky it’s not a huge problem. I can get plenty of Magtech 9mm — at $24/50. I get 22lr at around 11 cents/round. I see hunting calibers, but since I don’t buy them, I don’t know how reasonable they are. But they’re available.
Sure. Had nothing to do with the mostly peaceful protests
Powder and primers are still pretty scarce, but some brands are starting to show up. The price? Through the roof, but at least some products are showing up and available to those that need em.
Didn't that motivate folks to provide for their own security?
The author refers to the Pink Pistols as being a group sexual minorities. What the heck is a sexual minority?
In the adult age group women outnumber men in this country. Thus making men the true sexual minority - and the only sexual minority since there are only two sexes. I don’t think a group of men band together and call themselves The Pink Pistols.
If he is referring to a bunch of trannies and 52 gender yo-yos, if anyone should be banned from owning firearms it is they.
As others have pointed out, the author misses on this one:
The biggest factor was covid-19 and associated restrictions, which encouraged millions of people outdoors to hunt and target-shoot.
The biggest factor was a growing sense of societal breakdown and loss of a feeling of safety. This was not, contrary to what the progressive activists in the media are claiming, restricted to evil white males with a sense of anxiety over pending minority status, as the author shows it cuts across all demographics. Further evidence is in which firearms are hottest selling: conceal-carry semiautomatic pistols, largely 9mm, and semiautomatic sporting rifles, principally in 5.56 x 45 and 7.62 x 39. At its worst the ammunition shortage affected all calibers but it is those principally associated with self and home defense that felt it first, worst, and longest.
The people are arming themselves because they can, and they suspect that the highly organized and funded efforts to change that might succeed. Anticipated shortages stimulate demand, whether in toilet paper or firearms or anything else. Everyone can see the insane hate campaigning in the media that shows no sign of abating, and everyone is responding accordingly. Stop the hate campaigns and the pressure will ease.
Doesnt matter for me.
Lost all my guns and ammo in a boating accident.
I’ve switched to dry fire, use and app on my phone for timing.
Demand for personal firearms and ammunition going up?
What would you expect when the police sit back and watch rioting take place in cities like Kenosha WI and many others?
The loud message everywhere in America: “You are on your own.”
The police only rush into school board meetings filled with angry parents who want to voice their displeasure.
Gun and ammo companies should open manufacturing plants in every conservative state.
