Hhmmm....No the ammunition shortage didn't start with the "Doomsday Preppers" hoarding ammo! This past year departments & agencies of the Federal government purchased 1.5 Billion rounds of ammunition. These purchases were not made by the military. Said 1.5 Billion Rounds purchased were in excess of the agencies/department's usual purchases. The many Federal departments/agencies that procured this ammunition included Homeland Security, the EPA, and the Social Security Administration.

Please don't buy into this nonsense. It is only passed along to promote fear and conspiracy crap. The government recently renewed its ammunition purchasing contracts. These contracts are to lock in a price for ammunition for UP TO a certain amount of ammo. They haven't taken possession of all that ammo nor is it likely they will. This is way it has always been done. Well at least for the last 20 years I've worked in the military and the federal government. There is nothing to be read into the purchasing contract because it is no different than any other purchasing contract for many, many years.
