M855 Ammo Ban

Todays update from the NRA

FORBES
Why Is The ATF Moving To Ban Common Rifle Ammo?
Gun-rights groups are in an uproar over an ammunition ban proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The ATF says it wants to ban M855 ball ammunition, a .223 (or 5.56 mm) rifle bullet that has been used by American citizens for decades. The ATF says it wants to ban this popular bullet because it is "armor piercing."

I wonder how long it will be before people are not allowed to speak out against the anti gun laws like this?

There is a hard push to control speech on the net and this is one more rule by Eo that will take it there.
Once they get their claws in this, will firearms forums even be allowed................. ?

Rush Limbaugh talked about it this morning. The store I work week ends went through 280000 rounds of XM193 by noon as it is rumored Obama is trying to ban all AR15 ammo and not just the M855 and SS109. Just a rumor mind you.

It can be argued that IF M855 is an AP round, then the U.S. Military would have the tips marked in BLACK and not GREEN.

Guess people have not figured out we need Obola impeached. The second amendment "shall not be infringed".

If they thought they could get away with it they would ban ammunition, period.
Any ban is a bad and evil thing and must be fought hard.

They are trying to do the lead thing state by state......................
That is the 2nd battle front... the one with the eco wackos that have joined the anti constitutionalists to erode and destroy the nation for their own selfish lives of government handout everything. Yeah gov sucks as it is, but these people attack the citizens not the government. They attack freedom and all it is founded on. They are the real enemy.
The true eco parasites. They destroy economies and freedoms of nations.

Is this an all out ban on 556 or is it a lack of knowledge on the reporter's part that is translating the M855 ban into all 556? Because given bubblegumty reporting everywhere (and I do mean everywhere) it would not surprise me if they didn't realize the difference.

It is a great example of why most reporters should have both commitment papers signed followed by charges of treason against the nation for their (MSM) leftist twist to every and all things they push. They are actually worse than most drug dealers and suppliers in the damage they do to our country and should be viewed as such..
Freedom of speech is not freedom to commit treason and subversion of the country and the Constitution. Although they feel they have that right.

Funny part is, that ammo, is not, armor piercing..............

Guess folks here are figuring out that Democrats are the current Gun Grabbers to vote against in elections of the future...

This isn't old news. This isn't funny. The ATF is taking comments until March 16th on how to implement the ban of M855 / SS109. At least tell them and your congressmen: "Don't."

If you want to save some reading, listen to these guys, they know what they're talking about:

Mac - Politics

Colin Noir – Tells it straight

Jerry Miculek – Construction of the bullet -

Here's the actual framework released on Valentine's day: http://www.atf.gov/sites/default/fi..._primarily_intended_for_sporting_purposes.pdf

If you're looking for a form letter for ideas or want an easy way to get a fax in to your rep and the ATF with your name on it, check this out:

The problem is no one gives a damn if it means walking a step or raising a finger or more.

Don't bet on it, don't forget, lead IS hazardous to your health

 

[Oregonhunter5]

another thought. if they go after the .223. and the .308, becasue those are also AR rounds. Then what abut the 10 other calibers that are available in a AR rirfle? gun makers will just make another and another caliber, to keep up with demand. but this wont happen. they will just outlaw black guns period. hillary will make sure of that. she hates guns way more than monkey boy.

 

[Stomper]

They've already decided to ban it, the public comment time is simply a mere formality they have to observe, then they'll make it official afterwards.

 

[Glock Jock]

They are not armor piercing!! This is the next step in gun control.

This is Obama's back door attempt to ban guns. Let the camel get his nose under the tent and there will be no stopping them. Guns are nothing more then clubs and paper weights without ammo. Obama promised his supporters gun control and here it comes. By EO's and ABC government agencies. Takes too much time to get the peoples representatives on board. He only has two years left. So much to do, so little time.

i see your point, and raise you $1,000. i think the little kenyan will try his best, but fall short due to tee times. i think bull dyke hillary will for sure slam the gun ban through.
and i truly believe that we the people are not ready to give up, and this my friends will start the new civil unrest.
