The amount of ammo on the shelve at any one time is going to vary. Many things effect it, demand for ammo, weather conditions from shipping point, time of the year. As to a Obama issued EO, he legally can't. EO pertain to the running of federal agencies, they cannot be used to create laws.

However, the Supreme Court ruled in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 US 579 (1952) that Executive Order 10340 from President Harry S. Truman placing all steel mills in the country under federal control was invalid because it attempted to make law, rather than clarify or act to further a law put forth by the Congress or the Constitution.
