If before Obama there was some 22 ammo in 50% of the households with an average of 500 rounds stored and used per year in to the top 10%, and then hoarding started, with all of the top 10% then wanting 10 bricks, we an calculate the recovery time.

The consumption is 500 rounds per year but now they want 5,000 in reserve. That is a 10 year supply. The manufacturers can run three shifts to triple production. One shift would be for consumption and two shifts for hoarding. The recovery would then take 5 years.

But the 22 shortage did not start until Obama was re elected. His initial election caused a primer shortage. Primers are now available, but double in price.

So Obama's Presidency will end in 2016 with a year of potential 22 shortage remaining. But if a Republican is elected President in 2016, each hoarding household will stop at ~ 8 bricks in reserve.
