@Brian.
I think that easy access to less than lethal rounds would be less of an issue than easy access to ball ammo - on the front of school shootings especially, where there's usually alot of hard and soft cover - and they're more expensive than standard or fmj so that'd please the producers too.
Besides, they're the best type of round for "home defense".....and if that's why people are buying guns nowadays..like they say.....
Not a solution in and of itself, but it could be a step in the right direction that sidesteps alot of nutter and industry objections.
On the bit about limiting stockpiling..well, it absolutely -would- do us good if we could limit stockpiling. Firearms are reduced to clubs when they run out of bullets. Every time some asshole wants to shoot up a school he brings a bando. If he didn't have a bando, his final stats would suck. Combine regulations on the legally purchaseable limit (and storage) of what are. in effect..tiny little explosives....with a funneled preference for rubber rounds in ratio and you're talking about a kid who shows up at a school with an ar-15..very little in the way of ammo (they aren't great shooters) and most of that ammo being unlikely to go through a chair. That, to me, sounds improved.
