Pictures from April 6, 7th Pasadena gun show(south Houston metro).
I suspect that this is probably man made, driven by fear mongering in gun/ammo industry and also by various factions in churches/conservative movement.
For example, I heard one folk active in church state that all government is BAD(their words, not mine) and that the government is coming to take away their ammo/22LR/rimfires.
It's commonly said that politicians are self-serving...it appears that industry and many organizations are so too...
A wonderful book covering the same topic is
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay.
I usually tell folks that current shortage is temporary and all you are getting, out of paying high prices right now, is the ability to shoot NOW rather than wait 6 months or 1 year later.
For now, I usually advise folks to use laser targeting system/AIRSOFT/pellet systems.
