“...what chance will we have to stave off federal regs eliminating any and all ammo sales in the US and how would the Constitution protect against that?”

Anything which would tend to remove proper operation of our guns would be, it would seem, unconstitutional. But really it is moot: At some point the Constitution ITSELF must be defended rather than relied upon. If we would even begin to regard such a tactic as banning ammo as an ‘acceptable, legal’ maneuver then we deserve to perish as a free nation.

I appreciate your point and agree with your “propper op” analogy. Free Nation? Unfortunatley we have not defended the entire Constitution but that may be necessary under the BO presidency.

Last Year it was OSHA Promulgating new rules that would ban carrying of ANY firearm in a workplace where Smokeless powder is stored. This would in effect mean that any Sporting goods store that had Smokeless powder on the premises could not sell Firearms Or it would require the construction of a separate building. After a Comment period they decided to back off saying that was never their intention. They only meant it to apply to places where Powder was being Manufactured.

Recently Washington State EPA is considering new Rules that will Ban all Lead Bearing Ammunition including simple possession. This would be a Felony. Old .22 round in your glovebox, Too Bad, Go to Jail for Five years.

There are perennial efforts to “Serialize” ammo.

We continue to have Bureaucrats Drafting rules that will BAN, TAX or Regulate Ammunition out of existance.

Best Plan is to be sure you have plenty and spread it around
so any future Raid will only find a small amount.
