The Obama administration wants to suppress the acquisition, ownership and use of AR-15s and other .223 general caliber rifles by eliminating certain types of ammo.
How about Nerf .223?
Right to homo “marriage” but no RKBA.
Quite the banana republic we’ve got here.
How long before they argue the M193s are brutal and need be banned too.
Better load up (pun) now while you can. Stockpiles of the M193s in 55gr are out there in the 35 cents per round area now.
Indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did you wait so long?
If the ATF clowns don’t like the .223 rounds that are out there, they’re really going to be sh****** their pants over the really good stuff that I keep for special occasions, like agents from out of control government agencies who like to overstep their Constitutional boundaries.
The people of the US can be your best friends, or your worst enemies. This applies equally well for foreign influences, as well as our own federal government.
Of course, regulations like this have never been tried before (e.g., illegal drugs, prohibition, etc.). Still, if they do make such a regulation a law, there’s absolutely no chance that criminals will still have such ammo, is there?
Dictatorships cannot exist in a country of armed citizens.
Guns are going to have to be made of softer materials, even without bullets you could throw it at someone’s head and kill them!
Guns without ammo are clubs.
“Quite the banana republic we’ve got here.”
Well, the Dems are working on making us one, anyway.
This is all about AR pistols. BATF is essentially arguing that since AR pistols have been growing in popularity, they now have an excuse to revoke the exemption that m855 and ss109 projectiles had from the legal definition of ‘armor piercing’ found under 18 US Code 921.
In no way can we stand for two more years of this administration.
Our Free Republic is dangling by very thin threads; while “We The People” sit and wait for a political solution; may be there will be one somewhere, somehow; but I ain’t seeing it.
Then again I will confess I am suffering from cynicism; there is a sense I’m not alone in my pessimistic thinking, so there is that; could it be reflection of a distant optimism; a tinge of light, hard to tell.
Title is a little misleading but the point is good.
ATF was so successful in banning other ammo from import you AR guys had to know this was coming. Or maybe you didn’t? But some thought it was only the com block guns that the ATF hated when they banned the inexpensive chinese 7.62x39 and the 5.45 Russian 7n6.
Maybe this whole ‘rifle ammo in a handgun has to be banned’ gun grab scam should go, right? Maybe the ATF has to be reigned in, right?
And are we now going to write our congress representatives this time, like most didn’t last time?
And the regulation stipulating the evil excess of anything that they term as “sporting purposes” totally ignores the fact that the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with “sporting purposes”. It has to do with killing tyrants.
Suppress the AR-15 and only domestic muzzies will have them.
Bought 2k yesterday.
“regular ammo”
I thought they were aiming at `green tip’ so-called armor piercing rounds.
And that it wasn’t all that.
I like soft-point in 7.62, but if you’ve been `air-holed’ what difference is it whether exotic, expensive ammo was used to make you become horizontal?
