Speculating on the ammo availability, there are two-three forces coming to a juncture —

1) Part of O’s legislation dream list will outlaw reloaded ammo (require manufacturer’s markings on loadings).

2) Another part of the dream list puts ammo beyond regular owners’ reach by taxing it exorbitantly.

If the ammo tax legislation is to apply to ammo manufactured after a specific date, then manufacturers and distributors place themselves in position to divert a healthy chunk of their stock to inventory to wait on the tax increase. Then pre-tax manufactured ammo would be sold next to taxed ammo, but at the same price. The resulting windfall goes to producers’ pockets (and, of course, to lobbyists and representatives’ campaign funds).
