Like I posted about three weeks ago......reloading will be next because you could make explosive devices with the powder and other goodies with the primers.....you can make primers with the top of the heads of "strike anywhere" matches and for powder you can use unexploded shells.

As the Newton tragedy tidewaters slowly recede, shooters have seen ammunition in certain popular calibers dry to a trickle in all the usual places. What you can get will cost you what you got and then some, but that doesn’t concern me that much because I reload (and you should too). But with handloading in mind and ammunition as well as gun control in the news, would there, could there, ever be a ban on reloading supplies, something that truly could leave many shooters with nothing more than gun case full of expensive paperweights?
Hey, is that a single stage, Lee Press in your truck?
No matter whether you’re a hunter, a run n’ gunner, a home defender or a plinker and no matter what gun you own or prefer, your weapon isn’t worth a solid baseball bat without ammunition. More and more shooters are realizing the importance of a consistent supply of ammunition turning to reloading their own ammunition, but could this spurred interest in the hobby mean lawmakers will target hand-presses next?
In 2009 President Obama was in Mexico pushing for support for an International treaty that addressed firearms trafficking. This is the same treaty that the U.N. has been floating around since Clinton and Obama, within hours of his reelection, endorsed yet again. Part of that treaty, which is called the Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and other Related Materials, “clearly identifies ammo reloaders that are not licensed by the government as ‘Illicit Manufacturers’ of ammunition.” From Article I of the Treaty:
