I believe that a lot of it has to do with the cost of metals but I think that may also be planned. Another strange thought is that the 2nd amendment speaks about "the right to bear arms" but does not mention the right to have ammunition. Maybe the plan is to just keep raising costs to discourage new gun & ammo ownership. In fifty years the plan succeeds and the bad guys win.
