I didn't realize there was an ammunition shortage (it's been awhile since I walked into a gun shop). Everywhere you go there's practically no supply, though general pricing seems to be about the same. An interesting economic paradox.

Demand increased recently, leading to widespread shortages. An economics textbook would say ammo sellers should have raised prices rather than have empty shelves. But that hasn't happened.
