What the actual fuck. I just can't believe that none of these companies are able to figure out their primer shortage. How difficult is it to make ammo? People can make it at home!

Everyone is talking about Biden's gun bill or whatever, not realizing that without ammo (and affordable ammo to actually practice) gun ownership is pretty much useless. If it costs more than a dollar a round, people will just use guns only for hunting, or will be horribly out of practice and not proficient if they have to defend themselves.

Ammo is as important as the actual weapon.

There's also apparently a shortage of ketchup packets because more people are getting drive-thru.

It's not due to profiteering or hoarding, but changing habits. This past year has seen a huge insurgence in gun sales - especially first-time gun owners - each buying thousands of rounds as soon as they find them.

And - I'm talking out of my ass - but I assume ammunition manufacturers are seeing rising costs of raw material and such. There's probably inter-industry competition too - if you offer a higher price for raw goods, your ammo may cost more, but it takes your competitor out and someone will buy it.
