So, is there really a great ammo conspiracy? Are companies hoarding ammo in secret warehouses in the caves of Tora Bora? Are a handful of individuals bent on establishing a new world order creating price gouging conditions to fund a new secret bunker underneath Denver International Airport?
Maybe, but not likely.
So you use as your primary source the person who has every reason to lie about the real Genesis of the situation. That’s some good reporting right there! Add to that the fact that you didn’t ask him the most obvious, elephant in the room question: If they’re manufacturing beyond capacity, where is all the ammunition going!!!??? Literally no retailer or individual can obtain ammunition right now, brick-and-mortar or online. It’s going to someone, somewhere.
