How does "coding" individual pieces of ammunition deprive you of the ability to purchase ammunition? It doesn't directly, Joe's and Cabela's will still carry ammunition...the issue will be the price of ammunition. The cost of coding individual pieces of ammo is astronomic (sorry, I can't provide a per unit cost), that cost will be passed along to you, the consumer. It is simple cost accounting actually. By increasing the cost of ammunition (which the left has been trying to do with ammo taxes for years) will limit a certain segment of the population's ability to purchase ammunition.
