Then at some point have an outright civilian ban on all military caliber ammunition. That will make all the existing weapons useless once the ammunition supply dries up.

there is no difference between "Assault weapon" ammunition and "hunting/defense" ammunition

That's like saying we are going to stop speeding on our highways by banning the use of "sport car gasoline"

An AR-15 uses .223 ammo.

I have a Remington 700, which is a .223 bolt action with a 5 round non removable magazine.

Both guns use the exact same ammo.

I want back ground checks on every gun sold, public and private, private sales could possibly go through the police department or something like that. There should be a limit on the amount of guns one can own. Ammo sales should be tracked. This shit has to stop.
