Could you imagine what life would be like for those Apache pilots who shot up American citizens like they were the Taliban you referenced? Not just the moral aspects, but what their family would have to worry about for the rest of their lives?
No one wants to go there (except apparently, a few tatooed, bald-headed, nut job firearms instructors)!
Please cite examples of the laws your referring to.

Even when Congress does decide to apply statutes to itself, members have trouble resisting the temptation to treat themselves differently. So, for example, Title III of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 extended the reach of several (not all) antidiscrimination statutes to cover congressional employees, but with provisos stripping the protections of much of their force. One has to love this sentence, amending Title VII, the most prominent federal law against employment discrimination: *Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the provisions of this title shall apply to the Congress of the United States, and the means for enforcing this title as such applies to each House of Congress shall be as determined by such House of Congress.*
I've been told Obama can ban imported ammo via EO. If true, it would make ammo pretty much unobtainable due to astronomically high prices.
Of course not, but that idea sure worked out for one witty fellow -
Looks like the "big ego guy with the little brain" lost his concealed weapons permit….for starters.

Free market will determine prices.
Of course it will. That's why ammo prices will be astronomically high if Obama issues an EO restricting ammo imports. The net effect would be a huge reduction in supply during a time of great demand.
