I just don't buy it's the hoarders.
I do. hoarders plus scalpers. ppl who used to buy a brick or two now buy a case or two bc they are panicked. look at any one of the 1,000,000,000 threads on the internets right now where ppl are talking about how they finally have 10,000 mini mags in their closet and they hope it'll be enough for a little while.
coterminously, you have groups of buzzards that are circling the local wal-marts, etc., to buy all the supply up as soon as it hits the shelf. its the same thing as if you had enough ppl going to the gas stations in town and filling up cans until it was all gone as soon as the truck had come and pumped it in.
the manufacturers have zero incentive to be going anything less than full-bore on the production scale. they are selling 100% of the product produced. thus, more product produced, more profit.
