"In the last two months it's gotten very, very difficult to find ammunition," says Richard Taylor, manager of The Firing Line, a gun shop and shooting range in the Denver, Colorado, suburbs.
"There are a lot of rumors floating around that the present government would like to increase taxes on ammunition. I think [there is] just a lot of panicked buying going on."
While campaigning for the White House, Obama supported re-enacting the now-expired ban on assault weapons. But there is no indication that the administration will take up that measure -- or any other gun-control initiative --anytime soon.

If you mean all that gun and ammo-buying, then yes. Chris Rock once joked that if every bullet cost $5000 then Americans would be a great deal more discriminating about who they shot. (Although the vast majority of guns are only used for legal purposes, it should be added).
