ATF Proposes Ban on AR-15 Ammo

It looks like the current administration is back to its old tricks of seeking backdoor gun control that will only affect law abiding gun owners. The ATF is apparently in the process of attempting to ban a popular type of 5.56mm round that is popular with AR-15 owners.

Based on new proposed regulations, the ATF is essentially seeking a ban on the popular M855 round (aka “green tip”).

The NRA-ILA weighed in on the measure:

Now, BATFE has released a “Framework for Determining Whether Certain Projectiles are ‘Primarily Intended for Sporting Purposes’ Within the Meaning of 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)(c)”, which would eliminate M855’s exemption to the armor piercing ammunition prohibition and make future exemptions nearly impossible.

  3. "AR-15 ammo"?

    Considering the wide range of calibers a typical AR-15 can be built for, that's a suspiciously stupid proposition.

    What, did the ATF poll the fruity fellows down at the latte bar, and the local bingo hall for suggestions on "scary bullets"?
