The Colorado guy bought everything "legit". Sure, maybe if he hadn't done it someone with an illegal black market AK47 would have done the same thing. I just doubt it.

I agree, but has one downfall. They would "take their business elsewhere." For example, there is a gun manufacture that makes USA Based guns, labeled as USA... but when the factory gets over worked, the manufacturing is pushed to their secondary factories in the Philippines. Let's face it, arms manufactures are in it to make money. If money isn't to be had in the USA, they will just move to another country.
They tried to raise ammo, but those businesses who did would go OUT of business. People who fire many rounds, tend to press their own ammo. At the current moment, a (decent) .223 round is about 0.30 per shot. To press your own using reload-able brass is ~0.33/shot. Currently the reason to reload your own ammo is to ensure quality (hopefully) and create better accuracy. If they raise the price on ammo, it will be to save money also. An entire setup should only cost ~200-500$ and you'll have a complete setup to make your own ammo.
