As you probably know Nitro Glycerin is used as a medicine for those suffering a heart attack. NG injectable drugs are on the current FDA list of drug shortages starting last month. If NG is in short supply why don't the ammo companies, NRA etc. tell us that, instead of telling us the current powder shortage is being caused by increase demand?
