Ammunition is a volatile commodity like anything else. The markets don't care. You think everyone who owns stock in Ford has an F150 in their driveway? When there is money to be made due to demand spikes, people will flock to it. It doesn't matter if it is ammunition or stock in a company. Some will make a lot of money and others will get burned when the price finds its new equilibrium. This has been going on forever. There has never been any "morality" in markets. It's just convenient to blame the other side as "profiteers" when you're on the losing end of a trade.
