It appears to me (and I hope to many ammo makers) that the feds’ real intent is to dry up supplies so that the public has no ammo.

I don't think so. At least I don't think that's the whole story.

Once the official government counterfeits are no longer accepted, what do you think will become the most desired and accepted items for barter?

I don't know if I'm following your logic even a little bit.

Are you saying that gov't droids will raid the federales' stockpiles of ammo to have something to barter with during the new Dark Age?
