its fine if he doesn't want to deal with those types of firearms. His FFL, his perogative.
Regarding ATF and defining a bullet as a tool, no reason why they would, no federal law involved. CA does define a bullet as a tool on the website,

It will also be fun for you guys when you can only buy 2 boxes of ammo every 30 days starting the First of January 2011.

wrong!! There is no law going into effect January 2011 that limits us to 2 boxes of ammo per 30-days.

I never will understand the need, desire or feeling that Assault weapons are good for home defense, hunting or whatever else you guys use them for. So have fun I guess.
