Green tips are now going to be illegal. Why?

Obama: Because ---- you, that's why.

Because......Crusades!

It will take an act of congress to fix this mess.

[Secret Agent Man]

It’s why you practice groin/lower belly, neck and head shots. Aiming at hands is good practice too - course you’d have to draw that in yourself, possibly.

I swear the sole reason BATF / BATFE (whatevah) exists is to hassle and otherwise make life difficult for gunowners.
What do they do, exactly, that helps the lives of everyday people? Does anyone ever say, "Whew, good thing the BATF was around!"

[Sirius Lee]

And who, in our newly elected and empowered Congress, is going to either pass legislation banning the BATF from legislating at whim via legislation, or cutting off all funding to this Constitution hating bureau?

And prices go through the roof and the ammo itself is SOLD OUT in most places.
They are doing exactly what they said they would do. They can't go after the guns, they will go after anything to be able to make the guns shoot. Watch the next restrictions are going to be on reloaders.

(...gun industry).....BATFE, JD, Obama, are the enemies within; determined to disarm the Second Amendment and American citizens.

[Dr. Prepper]

Retribution?
Gun control via illegal executive order

The real surprise is that this didn’t happen years ago. They did the same to 7.62x39 ammo when one company announced a mere _prototype_ “pistol” which fired it.

BATFE’s imperative is to enforce the letter of the law, shaving off every bit of ballistic freedom they can justify as not within what is strictly allowed.

-—characterized as “cop-killer” bullets-—

So when cops or the batf use 5.56 ammo do they call them “civilian-killer” bullets?

This government forgets that when Prohibition was passed almost 100 years ago, all it really did was make criminals out millions of otherwise law abiding citizens. This administration is intentionally doing exactly that with this new law, blatantly, and with malice.

The Second Ammendment protects all the others.

[Georgia Girl 2]

This too will get struck down. Its irritating and infuriating but it will not last.

The statutory fix to this over reach by the BATFE ought to be simple–simply replace the words “may be used” with “designed to be used” in the relevant section of the GCA. Naturally, Obama would never sign such a fix as a stand-alone bill, so it must necessarily be attached to something he finds otherwise compelling enough to sign.

This article misses some key information in the Federal statute U.S.C. § 921(a)(17)(B) that specifies what materials makes up an AP round:

"Armor-piercing ammunition is defined as any projectile or projectile core that may be used in a handgun and that is constructed ENTIRELY from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium. In addition, armor-piercing ammunition is defined as a full jacketed projectile “larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.”

We know the M885 or SS109 are not "entirely" made of steel which is the tip and its core is made of lead. Those metals listed is what makes up an AP round and lead is not one of them. Furthermore, the jacket is much less that 25% of the weight of the projectile. The ATF has misidentified the M885 long ago as an AP round - likely subterfuge. We see their "proposal" is not supported by law. The ATF is making stuff up as they go.
