Guns and Ammo Shortages?

So, I've been hearing these stories lately, from friends, family, old-timers. Much of it is heresay, but lots of it is fact too. It's near impossible to go down to the local sporting goods store this week and buy any type of ammo you are seeking. Sure, the popular calibers exist, like .22 and 12GA, but some of the higher demand ammo, like that for the SKS rifle, are near impossible to find in some areas.
I also spoke to a pawn shop owner in East Texas recently, he told me that his orders for new guns are at an all time high, and that he ordered more guns in december for buyers, in one month, than he did in the previous year. He also stated that he had always stocked a variety of guns in store for walk in customers, but he can no longer keep his shelves stocked, the guns sell as soon as they are shipped to his store.
"There seems to be a fear, that the new presi is gonna abolish gun rights!" he said.

Much of the news that hit the streets is laiden with political fear mongering. This country was founded upon the bravery of men with guns. Even though we're many generations past the point of our forefathers taking ownership of this great nation for their own, the story of the minute men, Paul Revere, and George Washington are still being passed on from one generation to the next. It seems next to impossible that the state of the nation would fall to the point of fearing an uprising from it's citizens. Apparentley, not everyone feels the same way...

When I asked that old gunny in the pawnshop what other items were selling like hot cakes, he replied, "Deer Corn, clay skeet targets, hunting licenses, Just stuff like that!"

I'm relatively good at googling and cross referencing things on the net, but I couldn't find any method in which Wild Deer food, or clay disks could be used to start a revolution, but I'm sure the politics in Washington could.
