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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
