Well, one problem with the situation now is that prices on guns and ammo could force them beyond the reach of many people for financial reasons. That is what the $200 tax stamp was supposed to do in 1934 for full automatic weapons. That tax stamp just about doubled the cost of the weapons. Interesting to note that $200 in 1934 was the equivalent of $3,400 today in 2013 dollars.
Wasn't there some sort of flap not that long ago about government agencies buying up BILLIONS of rounds of ammo? So if the government chooses to buy up nearly all the ammo using our tax dollars to do so, what will be the final result of that strategy? Yep, rising prices. Supply and demand sort of thing.
