Aunty, if one of the issues is the increased cost of ammo, then the question is fair, should the Govt. subsidize? Should they make it free? What is the magic number that takes away the concern over increased cost? If the govt. subsidized this program and make it cost neutral for the consumer, would that be OK?

Most of our Constitutionally protected rights (with the exception of the 2nd) have no direct cost to the citizenry. The 2nd is unique in this aspect. So, if part of the concern is over cost (and it appears to be so judging by comments) then these questions are entirely appropriate and deserve to be answered.
