Technically, the article is flawed. It's easy to make your own ammo.
I've reloaded ammunition using commercially available components (cases, bullets, primers and gunpowder). A complete black-market operation would be quite a bit harder, but not harder than say... manufacturing designer drugs.

A proper die can be machined by anyone with the proper tools, and lead can be easily obtained from any auto repair or tire shop, as they frequently discard large quantities of lead weights when rebalancing tires. Adding a copper jacket is also very simple. Primers and (smokeless) gunpowder are the only things that are unreasonably difficult to manufacture at home. And even then, gunpowder recipes and materials are easy to come by.
