Is the U.S. Government REALLY hoarding weapons and ammunition?

One would probably have to be living underneath a rock to have not yet heard the rumor about the government hoarding weapons and ammunition so that it is no longer accessible to the general public.  The supposed reasons for all of this hoarding vary according to whichever rumor you are hearing about.  One rumor says that the government is arming soldiers to prepare for a situation where martial law will be declared in various cities.

A few weeks ago, I ordered some ammunition from Ammo.net and took the time to chat with one of their salespersons.  I asked them if there was any truth to this rumor, and they informed me that there was no substance whatsoever.  "More people are buying more guns and ammunition," the sales professional told me. 

Backing up what he said, I just read an online article that states just as much:  http://news.yahoo.com/case-against-rumors-government-ammo-stockpiling-charts-184539661.html
According to the article, the recent mass shootings, which have been occurring in various locations within our country, have sparked a demand for people to begin arming and protecting themselves (or quite possibly preparing for their own Fruit-Loop-inspired mass terrorism attacks).

However, I am curious as to what you guys think.  Please feel to state your comments below.
