Manufacturers are probably increasing capacity, but not like they would if they could raise prices.
You fail to understand why investing 10's, 100's,dare say million of dollars in new manufacturing equipment and space along with the training new employees for what is correctly a short term bubble is a poor business decision. And a big problem is once the bubble bursts due to public demand being met what is going to be done with the now unneeded manufacturing capacity and employees along with unsold inventory.
Even "hoarders" as you label them will reach a point where they will no longer feel the need for additional firearms, ammo, etc. unless more folks realize that dependence on the Government is not to their best interests and chances of survival.
Say wouldn't that be a good thing?
Again, the gun community is very hostile to suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers that raise prices during periods of flashpoint strong demand. Because of that, they are reluctant to raise prices on ammo, magazines, etc. The backlash from the gun community is no fun.
Exactly as it should be and is happening.
