Very little of it is being bought by liberals (which is good). What is happening is that companies don't like to be seen selling at the market clearing price because it's viewed as price gouging, so one way or another supply gets diverted in backroom deals so that it can be sold on auction sites or to friends and family.

Most components are in stock on Gunbroker. You may not like the price, but they are there.

A large amount is also being sucked up by commercial ammo manufacture. There's more money to be made selling ammo at $3/round than there is selling the pieces of it for half that.
