Something tells me, like the light bulb ban, this will be back.
This isn’t over. It’s not enough to slap the BATFE’s hand every time they reach for your gun. Real legislation needs to be put in place to jerk the leash on these fascists. You might want to contact your representative concerning this.
“This attack on the Second Amendment is wrong and should be overturned,”
And if you were serious at all you would have impeached and removed the head of the ATF, anything short of that demonstrates complicity!
Highly lethal? Fooking idjits!
Too bad the head line doesn’t read “BATFE (of F&F fame) bites bullet. No restrictions on AR-15”
They did succeed in sending the price of this ammo through the roof, if you can even find it.
Playing defense on this one is not enough. What is needed as a “tentative” Republican proposal of massive and painful cuts to the BATF&E, as part of it being entirely absorbed into another department.
This would penetrate their pointy heads that they need to stop being jerks, or they might soon find themselves looking for new jobs.
I might add that they could light a fire under Eric Holder as well, by offering to *continue* “Operation Choke Point”, but changing those organization on the list to ones favored by the left. That is, telling banks and other financial institutions to no longer do business with say, Planned Parenthood.
Happy with my congressional delegation on this one. Not missing one name.
next....to send all the ATF firearms division employees to work in equivalent or better jobs doing something Constitutional (for a change!) and hopefully also useful.
close up the F part, at least, of ATF....ASAP!
“the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed...”
“...shelving a proposal to ban a popular but highly lethal type of bullet...”
It’s widely known that, even without a case, primer, or powder, these nasty bullets will kill you deader than dead - in fact, they’ll kill you double-plus really amazingly and unusually dead.
Now THAT’S a highly lethal bullet.
The AP article on Fox has this egregious error:
“The weapons would still work without the M855s but they would no longer be capable of firing body-armor piercing ammo.”
That is completely false. Virtually *all* ammunition that functions in these firarms will pierce the body armor worn by police.
