'Handgun' ammo is also run in a variety of rifles and carbines, so no they're not just going to outright ban certain calibers. 9mm is used in FX-9s/Vectors/PCCs. Some lever actions use .357. There's Vectors that use 40SW.

If they banned 'handgun' ammo they would also be making a myriad of non-restricted firearms useless.

That's exactly what they will do. All the PCC's you mentioned are already on Poly's shit list so in their view it's killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

9mm is definitely the most at risk handgun calibre if they decide to go after ammo.

And yet I still shoot 9mm and .357 "handgun" ammo so I am invested in this.
