There's already multiple legislative bills introduced in both state legislatures and Congress to effect the same ban, but encompassing just about all popular center-fire sporting calibers and a penology of bullets.
IOW you could say a small minority of an infinitesimally small percentage (some 500 odd out of 300+million) are claiming an "entitlement" to punish millions for their ingenuity, skills and zeal in pursuing harmless sporting/recreational activities.
The real "victims" in this kerfuffle are the nation's LEOs. Having been given 5.56mm weapons out of the U.S. arsenal, they're now denied affordable training ammo. A suspicious mind might say its one way to tie LEOs to the federal tit. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
