Just as a thought to add to some of the comments:
If they institute this, the cost of ammunition for the military will skyrocket; since most of the commercial businesses that would otherwise eat the cost of making the required changes will just stop selling product, the companies (being part of the wonderful free market of capitalism) will "pass the buck" on to the military and law enforcement, seeing howas they'll be the only people properly equipped to handle ammunition; in other words, this will raise taxes as well, because when prices for the military go up, they aren't just going to let it slide and have it eat into their budget, they'll pass a BIGGER budget (which due to the new "pay as you go" style legislation) forcing instantly higher taxes.
I already submitted my comments, but maybe someone would like to feed them quantifiable analysis of the above comments; I would do so, but since I WORK at an FFL, I'm already worried about my job....
