Riots sparked fears. Fears led to panic buying. Now hopefully all those panic buyers will convert into voters for the law and order POTUS.

It still makes no sense to me that we can't buy 9mm and other formerly common ammunition, unless something sinister is going on. I could see ammunition selling out quickly after arrival in a retail outlet, whether a box store or online retailer, but it should at least arrive. I think we are likely being secretly prohibited from purchasing the means to defend ourselves.
Keith it is arriving I bought 50 rounds of 9mm Tuesday. my LGS is rationing to one box per person. most retailer ordered seasonally or once a month before , now they are selling a months ammo in a day when it hits the shelves. stores get it , online retailers get it , you can get some but when the email goes out that it is in stock it is sold in 2-4 minutes from the email. during the 22lr shortage 22lr was being made as fast as they could make it though the entire shortage of around 18 months. supply and demand , with aprox 40 million 22lr shooters most had less than 500 rounds at any time for decades suddenly the day you realize that you can't buy what you want when you want to you need at least a thousand rounds. 40,000,000 X 1000 = 40,000,000,000 that is 40 billion rounds at the time the industry could make between about 7 million rounds a day if people actually purchased all they wanted it would have taken around 5000 days to make it all as time went on people got some and they were happy to have 250 rounds and so in about 24 months things started to get back to normal. toilet paper is still recovering from a two week period in time in March 330,000,000 butts all need 48 extra rolls 15.8 billion rolls and unlike TP not every one was shooting yesterday, last week or last year an estimated 5 million new gun owners a of 8/24/2020 that really represented about 5 months of sales, we could easily be at 6 million by today 10/8/2020 even if each of them only needed 250 rounds that is 1.25 billion rounds just for the new gun owners. add in the other 400 million guns that need to be fed even if they sat for years prior well you can see where supply just can't keep up with demand. on the bright side you can once again say at no time in history has there ever been as many rounds of ammunition or guns in the hands of US citizens .

I don't get the shortage on hand gun ammo, nobody fights a war with a hand gun... I don't think most are preparing for war. even though there is a cold war of Marxist ideology raging. also 223 , 5.56 and most common rifle calibers even 30-30 are also sold out as well as most shotgun slugs , buck shot or shot larger than #6. fortunately no one seems to think of 30-06 as a self defense caliber or everyone who did already has enough to feed their M1 or BAR a good portion of this is fear of needing personal protection. the cities that were burning , those people who live there took notice , that no police were available that they were on their own. the police were too busy watching their squad cars and precincts burn. this is in large people wanting a self defense piece and self defense rounds or whatever they can get to feed their tool of survival.

It will come back, just like the toilet paper did. that does't give me much faith as you might have thought 8 months in and the TP I used to buy is limited availability and the price is nearly double I am still buying TP with all Spanish packaging it's a good thing I don't need instructions to wipe.

I got a box of 9mm ammo yesterday for $13 bux for 50. Just had to buy a $600 gun to go with it. They keep ammo in the back you can get if you buy a gun.

Part of the availablebility issue has to do with the fact that a lot of manufacturers have been shut down or partial shutdowns not to mention a lot of components come from overseas and not much has been moving from those areas for the same reason
Then add in new buyers and panic buying on the part of many and you run into real shortages
Thankfully it should be easing as more plants come back into production and components become more available
