He said the biggest reason for the shortage is regular citizens hoarding. There was a shortage before Sandy Hook, in fact it started when Obama got elected. Originally the shortage started with .223/5.56.(ar-15 ammo) Since then it has bled over into other calibers.
They simply can't make enough ammo to keep up with demand. Their sales numbers have gone up x10 since 2008.
Hell, i was on armlist selling 7.62x39 ammo I had paid 14 cents a round for and reselling at $1 a round.
