I believe the biggest threat to us users of black powder is declining sales overall. At some point it may just get to be too small of a sales item to be profitable for the manufacturers with overhead, insurance etc. I live in a community of 50,000. No one here sells BP or traditional BP guns. I believe I would have to drive more than 100+ miles one way to find an over the counter vender of BP. The only traditional BP firearms I see for sale are second hand at pawn shops. Once in a great while I'll see a used one at the local gun stores. Mostly what I see are modern autoloading pistols and black/pink/purple rifles that used to all be black. We may see legislative prohibitions, but decline in users is a greater risk.
