"SCotUS will never allow the banning of guns."

They didn't have much problem allowing it in 1994, and I don't trust John Roberts if it comes down to the wire. And that's assuming the SCotUS would even decide to hear any cases about it. HB 127 is a horrible thing in whole and in part, and could set in motion a wide range of repercussions that will take us years to untangle and free ourselves from, not to mention the irreversible damage it will cause to the small-scale firearms industry.

Besides, if there's one thing the current panic has taught us - all they have to ban is primers (or the evil chemical substances therein), and the whole industry will collapse on itself within 2-3 years. It's only been a year so far, and look how bad things are - ammo selling 2 to 4 times normal price, guns selling at twice normal price, the parts supply is all but dried up except for the $$ boutique stuff, and reloading components are just a pleasant memory with no concrete promise of when they'll come back. And that's without any sort of actual "ban" to make things harder to get.
