I don't see how this would pass constitutional muster any more than an Executive Order baning guns. Bullets are an essential component to guns and without them guns are little more than poor cudgels, so they should be protected by the 2nd amendment equally. Or to put it in perspective, it would be as if a president in the 1800’s tried to circumvent the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of the press by banning the printing press.

But he won’t ban ammo. He’ll just tax it out of manufacture. Roberts has already ruled that the government can tax you into obeying ObamaCare; why not into obeying AmmoCare?

They don’t give a crap about the 2nd amend, they will try any weasel way they can to screw it over if not by outright ban, but by auxillary means.

Remeber these are the people who LIVE by the motto: The End Justify the MEANS!

No, like banning ink.

I think most of us have given up on any of these slime sucking scum bags ever paying attention to the Constitution. We are living under Marxist dictatorship. The only question is, what happens in the next few years? How many freedom loving Americans will face extinction, before this ends, if it ever ends?
