Consumer demand is up
“Conspiracy theories are just that, and I haven’t found even a smidgen of truth in any of them,” commented Mike Bazinet, Public Affairs Director for the National Shooting Sports Foundation. “This is a consumer-driven shortage. Gun sales have been up for five years in a row, with the most popular
caliber being .22. Sales in 2014 continue at a high pace, higher than 2012, but not as high as the record in 2013.
The ammunition and firearms industries are uniform in their stance that none of these rumors are true. In fact, according to some retailers, the shortage of .22 caliber ammunition is hurting the sales of .22 rifles and handguns.

This 100%
Tinfoil hatters and gun tards are always bitching about some US government conspiracy causing a shortage but its just people hoarding and panic buying + driven by demand.
