It is obvious this is not a one horse rodeo. There are a number of issues causing the "shortage". Panic is obviously one of those factors, if most of you are likd me when you go to the LGS you look at ammo right in the beginning and if they have somethig and you have the money you get some, after all how long has it been since you have seen that particular type? Then there are those like the guy who said he had purchased 34,000 round of ammo in the first 5 months. Obviously a hoarder. Add to that all the new gun guy & gals who are tryingto get some trigger time. It seems obvious to me and this is JMO until we all can walk in and not look for ammo first then and only then will the shortage be over.
