All i am saying is that if some manufacturers stop supplying to government agencies others will be queuing to take their places. It might be a temporary inconvenience to some agencies but that's all.
And if it causes any significant difficulties the agencies will look at their suppliers and procurement procedures to make it doesn't happen in the future.

Yeah, so someone will try to fill the gap. That's how markets work. Even in the short term, though, being unable to come up with enough ammo so that your officers can remain proficient (and maybe even legally qualified to do their jobs) is more than a little hassle.
As far as "some manufacturers," queuing up to take their places, there is not an infinite supply of companies with the resources, machinery, manpower, etc., to fill the gaps.

For pity's sake, did you even read my original post?

I've already heard rumors of LE agencies cutting back on their training because they can't get enough ammo.

There's a reason I used the phrase "enough manufacturers."
