I thought ammo cost was already going up because of demand.
Wouldn't that just transition people to making their own bullets? It's my understanding that it isn't super difficult if you have the tools, and can significantly reduce the cost of shooting.
I assume OP means the Chris Rock argument for 10000x increase, not the 2-3x increase we've seen. After all, a "good" gun owner who goes to the range and uses ~1000 rounds in practice in a week isn't as much of a problem as a "bad" guy who has 7 rounds in his crappy Hi Point pistol and ends up killing 2 people and throwing away the gun.
Primers are ultimately the hardest to produce part (although power/propellant is also hard); brass can be recycled, and bullets can be milled (at the high end) or cast.
