I am surprised nobody sees the logic in the govt. buying up so much ammo. Simple supply and demand. Buy up massive lots of ammo and ammo becomes expensive and in shorter supply.
They are hoping we will not be able to afford ammo or that it will be in shorter supply.
In their minds , if you cannot control guns, then attempt to control the ammo. This is the first step, see how Americans react to the move. Then comes higher taxes on ammo and regulation of amount of ammo you can purchase.

They know there are too many guns in this country and they would never be able to confiscate even a fraction of them, ergo control the ammo. Ammo is not protected under the 2nd amendment.

If true that will have it's own set of unintended consequences. One bright spot for investors and market growth will be the reloading market.

Supply and demand may be it but there's also capitalism. When the demand grows, new companies will step in to meet it. Yes, there's a lag time. Remember, not long ago when the government had such a large order of survival meals that the average joe's order was put on back order. But combine these orders with the other beefed up security and disaster contracts and it's enough to make you think something is up.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.
