The government will propose an extra tax on ammo, and probably firearms as well. The masses who do not shoot will see nothing wrong with an extra tax. They are not shooters and gun owners, and they believe none of us should own guns, so yes, tax those red neck, gun toting, good for nothings. The sky's the limit, tax, tax away!!!!
Many of the shooting public will resent being taxed on ammo and prefer to buy food instead. If you can't afford the ammo, there is no sense in having the guns around. Besides, the government will be offering enticements in the form of buy back programs so you may rid yourselves of those terrible guns and the officials will pay you for doing so. Now you have fewer gun owners and more people (or sheeple) which will make it that much easier to ban firearms in this country for all but the criminals.
And to think, it all started with a simple tax on cigarettes.
