People need to refrain from purchasing such large amounts of ammo and storing it as if they are going to go to war. Those people which of whom are hoarding are throwing off and fabricating a shortage that should not exist. Prices are at an all time high and hoarders are promoting this behavior by buying all the ammo they can possibly get their hands on.
Interesting your friend can see end-user sales after the ammo goes from maker to distributor to store.

There are far more existing shooters who don't understand history and pricing than new shooters. Add basic ignorance to the equation.

I'd buy, but only if the whining stops. Which it won't.
