"I wasn't into shooting in 2008.
So all this panic buying and ammo shortage has a precedent?
What caused it? How long did it last? "
This has happened a number of times in the last 20 years. It's nothing new.
Both times Obama got elected, we had a huge run on guns. Every time it looks like new legislation concerning guns looks like it has a real chance of succeeding, it happens. As was mentioned, when the last "Assult Weapons Ban" ended............................
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but the buying continues after the danger has passed to prepare for the next drought. When people stock up on what appears to be a massive amount of ammo, people think it is ridiculous; until the next panic, then they are the only ones still shooting because they prepared for it.
If you are "into" this kind of stuff, it pays dividends to stock high and deep. Also guns and ammo just keep going dramatically up in price.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
