Another week, another example of the president's unending executive power grabs. The target this time is the most popular sporting and target shooting rifles sold in America; the AR-15.The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is proposing a ban on the most popular ammunition for the AR-15, trying to backdoor Congress again on gun control.
Washington Examiner:
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela's, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.
Wednesday night, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, stepped in with a critical letter to the bureau demanding it explain the surprise and abrupt bullet ban. The letter is shown below.

Is anybody surprised? I’m certainly not.
What SHALL NOT be infringed is the right to keep and bear ARMS.
ARMS without ammo might be guns, but they are no longer ARMS.
Why did you even think that?
Do you really think Obama cares about the Constitution? He's been going over Congress' head for years, what makes you think he'll have a change of heart?
No, they should either re-define what a "handgun" is, or simply repeal the section of the underlying law which allows unelected ATF staffers with political agendas to conjure up regulations on what ammunition is banned.
If they are going to ban ammunition, then the Congress should just list the banned ammo and vote on it. I think we'll see a very short list if members of the House have to explain their votes to their constituents.
Upgrade. That'll teach 'em.
Me too! Unless they come from Soviet Union which the Brown Clown stopped importation of when his panties got in a wad over Putin and the Ukaraine.
Yeah. If 5.56 is bad, and it’s the smallest, well...do the math.
Your enemy will bring to you all the weapons you need to defeat him- Mao TseTung
When i came back from SouthEast Asia, i wanted no part of any rifle that was semi-auto, whether it was produced by The Free World, or from a design that originated in the Soviet bloc.
I watched, as Bill clinton signed the firearms ban. I noticed that ‘cowboy calibers and firearms’ were not affected. So i chose that route.
Now, with all DiFi’s Dummies, and the queer-in-charge trying with every fiber of their being, to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans, I figured they would go after the same firearms. They tried. So, it seems that they are going for the other components, cartridges.
So, before the queer-in-charge, in his midnight confessions to his dear michael/mooch get the ideas, as you are able, switch calibers!!! The queer-in-charge thinks he has taken the sting away from all you preppers.
A suggestion ... go search for ‘hickok45’ and ‘guide gun’ on youtube. Once you see, you will understand.
What do you want me to explain?
What?

In the Ottoman Empire, in accordance with the Muslim dhimmi system, Christians were guaranteed limited freedoms (such as the right to worship), but were treated as second-class citizens. They were forbidden to carry weapons or ride on horseback, their houses could not overlook those of Muslims, and their religious practices would have to defer to those of Muslims, in addition to various other legal limitations.[153]
Now I can understand why Obama, as a Marxist and a Muzzie, is pushing the gun control and getting people out of their cars.
Sorry. I am ashamed of myself.
What's the next step?
