Go check out this blog. Basically it documents the DOD's suspension of the sale of brass casings to the largest US manufacturers. Which will continue and accelerate the disappearance of ammunition to civilians.
You need to use your brain a bit here to realize that while ammo will continue to be made in the US, it will be sold first to LE and the military at higher prices....taken from your tax money. Meanwhile the brass is going to be sold to China after it's shredded. Great.
Also, if you don't think there's a shortage of ammo already then you have not purchased or tried to purchase anything lately. The major online retailers are running low or sold out. The shelves at local retailers have been bare or near bare for going on six months.
What this all amounts to is that you'll be allowed to keep your guns (for now) but honestly what good are they without either manufactured ammo or reloading supplies----both of which are disappearing or gone.
This is nationwide and erratic in the way it's occurring. Thus, you're going to hear people disagree with the whole idea, maybe you want to disagree with the whole idea. Either way, I suggest that if you take your right to bear arms seriously you investigate it for yourself before making any claims to the contrary.
