LOL, if that were true, I guess some how the city I live in must have not got the message. Every business on Main St is either a bar or restaurant and business seems to be booming. You can believe what you want but I think there are other reasons for the shortages. Maybe like the millions of new gun owners or the people that are buying anything and everything they can to flip for a huge profit. First time gun owners want to shoot their new firearm. The cost of ammo doesn't factor in and as long as they keep buying the prices will stay high. At least until the new wears off or they wise up to the fact they are over paying.
