Granted, there are a lot more gun owners today than there has been in the last 50 or so years but, C'mon. If the ammo plants were actually working that hard, they should have little trouble keeping up with demand - if what they say about their production rates is true.
I sometimes wonder if this "shortage" isn't reminiscent of the middle 70s and the phony "gas shortage" that I lived through. Not enough oil, while tankers sat in the Gulf waiting to be off loaded.....
Just a thought.

I doubt the media will do any investigative reporting about this. Yeah, we've heard what the CEO said in the video, but I'm sure he'd lawyer up and claim he has no idea what happens to his product once it leaves his docks.
Something doesn't smell right here, we're hearing a lot of excuses (like hunting rounds such as 243 and 30-06 have been sacrificed in production in favor of 223), but then none of us is stepping up and saying that they're seeing the ammo.
It seems like after most of the trucks leave the manufacturer's loading docks they drive into a lake.
