One could argue that the "jerk" reselling the ammo to make a profit for necessity is more deserving than the guy who wants to go blast a box at the range. No one expects the wholesaler to give up their profit, nor do they expect the distributor to take a loss, but once it gets to the buyer, all of a sudden its not fair?

In the real world, no one "deserves" it, its a commodity, and a non necessity at that.

This. There's no cheating the natural price level. It will find itself regardless. Controls, whether placed on my small businesses, corporations, or the government, only make matters worse in the larger picture.
