I can somewhat understand the inability of firearms manufacturers to ramp up production of guns. There is a fair amount of skilled labor that goes into making guns, which means that you can't just put an ad in the paper and hire the first ten guys that show up. My guess is that a lot of CNC machine tools probably have substantial lead times. Believe me, I have briefly considered what would be required to buy a CNC milling center (one of the big expensive ones) and do my part to satisfy the demand. I don't have the experience required for this, so I am sure that by the time I had everything working well, the business would have saturated.
But ammunition? This is not quite the same situation. Big ammunition making is highly automated. I would think that reloaders (of which the U.S. is full) would be cranking away at both reloading and making new ammo in the garage to satisfy demand. Is powder and primers really in such short supply?
It is hard to imagine that this isn't one of those areas where the application of capital would not produce pretty healthy returns right now.
