So, I have a bit of a concern about taking these home for those of us living outside of the US. Canada actually gives near-zero fucks about importing firearms/parts/ammo. However, the US is quite strict about the exportation of firearms/parts/ammo. I wanted to look into this as I don't want to end up on any mandatory anal spelunking list whenever I want to travel.
Here is a company in Canada that deals with importing and exporting firearms. There is a section in the US law where Canada can import $500 dollars worth of certain firearms components, but this doesn't include ammunition. This is their statement on the US law:

tl;dr:
Here is the ITAR part of the law that dictates that a person cannot export ammunition. It is on page 474. Category 3, section 1.

tl;dr:
(1) The components, parts, accessories and attachments controlled in this category include, but are not limited to cartridge cases, powder bags (or other propellant charges), bullets, jackets, cores, shells (excluding shotgun shells), projectiles (including canister rounds and submunitions therefor), boosters, firing components therefor, primers, and other detonating devices for the defense articles controlled in this category.
Now, I don't really expect huge repercussions if someone tries to bring a single 40mm chalk round with them out of the US, but I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of potential issues relating to this.
Also, I want to say, this badge idea is fucking awesome! I love it :D

tl;dr:
- Does not apply to ammunition-related parts and components. These are classified as “Category III on the U.S. Munitions List, while the exemption only refers to “Category I(a) firearms.”
