Hmm... So we can know how much credence to place in your foresight, can you cite past predictions of yours that came true?Jack-O said:

Ammo shortage answer from NSSF
This is an email I received trying to explain ammo shortage.
FAST FACTS . . .
ANSWERS TO AMMUNITION AVAILABILITY QUESTIONS
NSSF has received numerous calls regarding shortages of ammunition. Many of these callers have expressed concern that the supply of ammunition is not able to keep up with the current demand.
In order to provide the best information possible on the issue of ammunition availability, NSSF interviewed ammunition manufacturers across the United States. Here's what we have learned:
Is there truly a shortage of ammunition?
The shortage of ammunition is real and is caused by several factors including:
A significant spike in consumer demand
Law Enforcement demand for training and readiness
Department of Defense demand for training and readiness
Higher prices from commodities
What calibers are in the highest demand?
The high demand for ammunition extends across caliber lines. The increase can be seen in most handgun, rifle and rimfire ammunition and on certain shot shell products such as buckshot.
What are manufacturers doing to keep up with demand?
In order to help keep up with demand for ammunition, manufacturers are working at full capacity (24/7). It is believed that any ammunition shortage is likely a temporary issue; however, it will take time for supply to catch up with demand.
How long will it take for supply to catch up with demand?
While it is believed that supply will be increasing, the great unknown is what demand will be later in the year. Since there is no way for manufacturers to predict how long consumer demand will be sustained at its current, unprecedented level, it is impossible for manufacturers to forecast the timeline for when the current backlog will begin to improve.
