For those that haven't figured it out yet, its all bullshit virtue signaling. It's the exact same as the 'gun control' bullshit that was being talked about that literally did nothing.

The gov ammo contracts reject X amount of ammo when its lot tested. Or they make X ammo and gov only wants Y. That leaves extra that is normally sold on the commercial market. This is built into the overall contract pricing and theyre not just going to be like, oh, we'll just lose money because reasons.
The ammo/components will be sold to someone else who will then sell them. Or, the amount of gov ammo will be reduced and commercially made instead as the margin on commercial sales is much higher.
It really is that simple.
