Increased Demand For Guns And Ammunition, Leads To Nationwide Ammo Shortage

MIAMI - APRIL 09: Adolfo Vivas loads a magazine with newly manufactured 5.56mm cartridges at Stone Hart manufacturing, Co. April 9, 2009 in Miami, Florida. Ammunition suppliers nationwide are reporting a shortage due in part to a sharp rise in gun sales after the election of President Obama that are said to be fueled by fears his administration will usher in more restrictive gun laws. Other factors for the shortage are reported to be the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and fear of social upheaval due to the worsening economy. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
