If at first you don’t succeed, try try again — but don’t expect to succeed the next time either, if you’re a House Democrat looking to pass an ammunition ban. Democrats on Capitol Hill reacted with dismay and anger after the ATF retreated on a ban on AR-15 ammunition, thanks to an overwhelmingly negative public reaction to the proposal, deciding that the proposal required “further study.” They have drafted a letter to ATF director Todd Jones, demanding that he use his existing authority to ban the ammo anyway, the public be damned:

FOAD
Democrats are gun-grabbing Nazi scum.
BLOAT!
To think it’s over a century old and still moves out like that. It will put down anything in N. America on two or four legs.
Whoops, I thought I was replying to the Garand thread. The mind is the fist thing to go.

LOL, yes and then the fingers :-)
Oh wait... never mind. I forgot... the Republicans are in charge of congress... it will never happen.
Looks like my only recourse is to refuse to file and pay taxes on April 15.
It happens.

Someone should ask them about the “will of the people” they loved to talk about so much.
They are just not going to be happy til they start CWII.
Just be glad Obama wasted all his political capitol on Obamacare. What if he had instead went for a ban on handguns and semi-auto rifles with a Democratic(commie) House and Senate!
No.
Oh yeah? Well I demand that congressional democrats ESAD.
Maybe they think they will be immune to the effects. The top 50 (+) could end up on playing cards...
