Gun shop owners report while there are no weapon shortages yet, a run on ammo has undoubtedly been seen across the country.
We first documented the run on guns and ammo in mid-March, identifying shops across many states with long lines of patrons, waiting to get their hands on AR-15s, shotguns, and handguns, along with the ammo for each respective weapon.

They're a little late on this. Every site I've been to in the past month is either sold out of common calibers or there's a significant waiting time. On top of that, prices have gone through the roof - couple months ago brass cased 5.56 FMJ was right at 21 cents a round. A quick check on my go-to site, ammoseek.com, just now is showing 32 cents a round, down from 41 cents a week ago.
150 grain 300 Blackout was at 41 cents a round 2 months ago, today it's priced at 64 cents, no drop in price from 2 weeks ago.
