The Ammo Shortage

 Over at Townhall.com Beth Baumann has an article that tells the story of of the current ammo shortage straight from the horse's mouth so to speak. Actually, it is from the president of Vista Outdoors, which makes Remington, Federal, CCI and Speer Ammunition

Baumann:

It should not come as a surprise that there is an ammo shortage. It happens every few years, especially during presidential elections. Look at what happened during the 2012 election cycle. Second Amendment-loving Americans were concerned about the possibility of a President Hillary Clinton. What did they do? Bought guns and stocked up on ammo. The same thing happened this year, in part because of a Biden-Harris ticket, and also because of the pandemic. Americans spent more time outside, hunting, fishing and recreating. And guess what? In order to bag a buck you need ammo (assuming you are using a firearm). Every month we have seen record-breaking new numbers of gun owners. In order for those folks to feel confident in their ability to protect themselves, they are buying ammo and hitting the range. They are also keeping a stash for self-defense.

Of course, anything can happen, but all things being equal, the supply will eventually catch up with demand. In the meantime, you can use such techniques as dry firing, and other things that you can use, such as Laser Lyte trainer  to practice without using valuable ammunition.  If you have ammunition, perhaps you don't need to buy more for now.
