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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
