Ammunition has been in short supply in recent months, and it could be well into the second half of the year or even later until supply is able to meet demand.
Strong sales of firearms in the past year since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic, as well as a slowdown in production as many suppliers were forced to shutter during last year’s stay-at-home orders, have led to empty shelves.

It could also spell the end of private sales of ammunition.
