As this becomes known among the folks who have or inend to have guns imagine the salse of ammo will increase sharply. Essentially the government is going to try to get around the Court’s 2AMD rulings by banning ammo.

You’re talking about “soft armor” of course.....I’m talking about those bucks that are lugging around those carriers with hard plates in them!.....haha
Eventually, it will affect availability I guess. Remington already makes is brass plated Green Friendly ammo (Golden?)which works pretty BTW....
I took a shot through 2 inches of pine board and lodged one of them 1/2” deep into a freshly green treaded 2X4...it surprised me how far it penetrated.
I suspect we are working up to a gun grab and the feds are not sure whether the population will passively give up their weaponry to the government or whether some of them will fight. They are trying to skew the odds against those who would fight.
***An arrow from a hunting bow or crossbow will slice through both sides of a Kevlar vest with ease, BTW. ****
Years ago, a policeman or salesman demonstrating armor was killed while wearing a bulletproof vest. He had someone in his audience attack him with a knife. It went through the bullet proof armor with no problem.
I believe that happened in Oklahoma City.
thanks for info

A hard cast, heat-treated lead bullet will amaze you as far as penetration.
WSJ: The Fallicy of “Low” or “Declining” Homicide Numbers
“No studies have quantified the relationship between emergency medicine and the recent decline in homicides. But many on the front lines of crime fighting believe they are linked.”
Sounds like more anti-gun propaganda to me. No real numbers, just speculation that there is a lot of “gun violence” in spite of the falling homicide numbers. I do not know why I should believe doctors from big cities on this issue when those who are the self proclaimed voice of the medical profession have lied to advance “gun control” so much in the past.
They already banned 7.62 X 39 steel core ammo because someone made a legal pistol for sale in AK type configuration. That happened during the Clinton regime.
Nearly all rifle calibers have had pistols made that chamber them. Check out the Contender series for example.
These people are going after what they can grab, IMHO. Logic and reason have nothing to do with it.
These are mostly stockless, short barreled, pistol gripped versions of the rifles. Not something I’d call a real ‘pistol’. Try shooting a 45LC Ranch Hand actually using the sights..... I’m talking about real rifles and pistols using the same ammunition.
BTW, I’m still waiting for the weirdo who’s gonna come up the the Garand Pistol...short barrel, cut-off stock and pistol grip added, short op-rod, retimed gas cylinder and action.....[actually, I’d really like to have one of them to go with the other real 4 that I’ve built up]
This would be our Dear Leader “working under the radar”.
Incorrect. The ammo used by the ft hood shooter was standard ammo and in no way armor piercing. A common misconception about the 5.7 is that all ammo it shoots is armor piercing. In reality, there is one round that is actually capable of penetrating armor and it is and always has been restricted from civilian purchase.
It is possible to buy commercial rounds that are lead free but they are not capable of penetrating armor UNLESS you pull the bullets and reload them much hotter than factory.
Judging from your comments you are confused.
Its not about a specific gun or type of ammo and it has nothing to do with Ft Hood.
Its part of an agenda to ban firearms and ammunition. They can’t gain ground with an outright ban so they seek to do it one piece at a time.
By agreeing and ‘compromising’ with them you help them in their efforts to eliminate private ownership of firearms.
I don't believe you will find many Freepers who think of RKBA as a joking matter.
You should be making policy at the BATFE! Then we could reimport some of that cheap (but excellent) Chinese ammo!/S
I see Barnes Bullets’s decision of withdrawing the Banded Solids ammo from the market was a defensive move while letting BATF to comply with pending “exemption request.”
I wonder if Barnes has the gumption to sue the government for arbitrary judgment or for over stepping their regulatory bounds if they refuse “to grant” the exemption?
You need to lighten up
Their Fast & Furious scandal puts a big damper on their plans here.
