You've got the right to "keep and bear arms" according to Heller v. DC. Of course you do! None of us among the residual sane slice of Americans ever doubted that. Yet, the idea that we (the people) would retain the power to withdraw our consent to be governed should the government become oppressive is anathema to so very many folks.
They lost the battle, but the war isn't over by a long shot (no pun intended.) They, meaning the Messiah's administration, will soldier on in their fight to disarm us. This one was linked by old buddy, Billy Beck:
Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 Revision
Apparently it is necessary to over-rule the wisdom of Congress in 1976 (a bi-centennial of our revolutionary application of privately owned firearms) that lead in ammunition be exempted from the law.
Sure, we can produce ammunition without lead. The enviro-whackos and the hoplophobes joined forces to get lead shot taken out of shotguns and replaced by steel and bismuth. Expense is no problem for them, they want you to save your money anyway.
More on EPA Effort
I really like that comment by the Weekly Standard that gun-owners and hunters are the only remaining predominantly conservative group that the administration has not yet intentionally provoked! The day before election day is a perfect day for a "Ban the Bullets" rally in towns across America!
So, if this were enacted you would then become a law-breaker for possessing all of that ammunition you currently own. Recall that truism about achieving totalitarian control by creation of a network of over-arching laws which insure that every citizen can be arrested at any time because inevitably they are law-breakers.
Might have to create a blanket waiver for undocumented aliens who currently have exemption under federal guidelines from compliance with American laws.

They can make it illegal if they want to. I'm keeping mine, how 'bout you?
Unfortunately I see this playing out in the following manner.
They make it illegal, everyone gets pissed, they make other stuff illegal everyone gets pissed, the quietly round up any problem children and we are all subjects of "His Benevelence for Life" whoever.
Armed rebellion wont actually happen except for isolated pockets of resistance which by the time it does happen will be such small enclaves of "extremists" that they will be easily dealt with :( Glad Im old and getting older.
Agenda or not, how can this be justified?.
We too here in NZ went steel shot and the reason given was that bottom feeding waterfowl were ingesting spent shot and lead was entering the food chain.
But rifle bullets?. If a hunter misses (Does anyone? - what's it like!) then most often the bullet
buries itself many feet into the ground which is exactly where the lead came from.
Target shooting? so far as I'm aware many clubs extract the spent lead from the mound during range maintenance. It's worth $!.
It'll be interesting to see how they justify it. One thing's for sure, if it happens in the US it will happen here. Nasty.
