GOOGLE IT...
1. The amount of copper in bullets is minimal.
2. The military currently uses 1.5 billion rounds of ammo per year, plus the US still has capacity to produce for other government agencies and the private sector. The government will be ok.

Tell me about Obama's moves to "ban all guns", please.

Because his only move on guns in 4.5 years has been to allow licensed individuals to carry weapons in national parks, where they had previously been banned.

Guns are now permitted -- but not necessarily welcomed -- in national parks - Los Angeles Times

Quite the opposite of what you've claimed.

I would think that 19,000 (wherever you came up with that number) moving en masse is a lot easier to track than 19. Kinda like looking at the earth from the moon. We can pick out the big cities because of the masses of lights. But can someone looking at the earth from the moon pick out Seligman, Missouri?

But we'll quickly lose Chicago and DC since no "good citizens" there may be armed.

There is a huge difference between an attack and an invasion. If you are unable to differentiate, maybe you should climb down of the soap box for a bit. What in the name of all things holy are you talking about with regard to the Geneva Convention? I honestly only ask out of morbid curiosity where this rabbit hole goes...
