Um, no, keeping and bearing arms necessarily implies the weapon functioning as a weapon, including the projectile. Furthermore, restriction of a fundamental right via some direct government-imposed economic restriction would be subject to a strict scrutiny standard, and that is almost always a losing argument for the gov. Legally, this is untenable for the left. They will ultimately be forced to go at this some other way. Rather than handwringing over nonissues, we should be anticipating their plan B maneuver and heading them off at the pass.

Heller said the weapon. Nothing about bullets. Liberals will do what liberals will do. Congress will pass an ammo tax and magazine tax. Or outlaw them all together. The law does not imply anything about functioning guns. Only the right to bear. Back in the day the law was written, most made their own ammo. The law does not imply what you said.
