Those people panic at the drop of a hat, usually on pure rumour, and gun shops intentionally ratchet up the hysteria. There are of course responsible gun owners in the US, but there’s also a ton of easily led, highly political, irrational, and paranoid ones. Lake City makes just 30% of the US’s supply of 5.56mm, so that calibre will still be available to buy but will just be more expensive for a bit. It’ll also only affect people who own AR-15s and similar rifles and who are a minority of gun owners.
