Who is behind the ammunition shortage?

It is simple supply and demand. Two endless wars, China buying up brass and other metals, promoted fear of the new administration, which has caused people to buy more ammo than they need, and new expanded police depts. are stocking up. This is now a perfect storm. Best thing to do is to sit and wait for the bubble to burst. Many are using this shortage to make excessive profits and take advantage of the situation. When it starts to back up, prices will fall, but it may be 6 months to a year or more. The sooner we stop buying, the sooner they have to eat the ammo. Maybe the Chinese or the Russians will dump a load of cheap ammo on the market and speed up things. With the way that wages have been depressed in this country for the last 10 years and the increase in prices for gas, food, etc., we can't keep buying ammo at these prices and survive.
