I'm not sure how an EMP attack would cause gunpowder to become inert, but maybe those Hollywood boys know something I don't ...

I may be wrong but believe the series takes place 15-20 years after the EMP attack and the population through wars/skirmishes is down to small tribes so I would presume much of the ammo was used up/no longer any good over the years.

I know people in Western states who have reloading equipment and make their own ammo. It's actually not that difficult.
