You know damn well every one of those 80k objectors is now on a *list*.

With these people everything is about payback for those who dare object.

The question is, will the people, as pointed out by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, cower in their homes while the government agents drag them off a few at a time?

[elcid1970]

Your attitude is noted, comrade.

“...I wonder how many people bought up M855 in hopes of hording it...”

Not a bad thing... you can ALWAYS use a little more ammo...

[Charles Martel]

The signatories of those letters will of course go into an ATF database. Quickest and easiest “gun registration” gambit I’ve ever seen.

I suspect the majority of those who signed are like me. They figure they're already in a database with a list of annotations that describe a litany of "offenses".

So - in for a dime, in for a dollar.

“I wonder how many people bought up M855 in hopes of hording it.”

Me....and most of my friends. Despite it’s mixed results in the field, it’s my favorite 5.56 ammo.

This fight isn’t over—they’ll try again.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Amen! I said the same thing a few years back when they pulled the nonsense with 7N6.

That decision should be reversed as well.

[Darksheare]

I guess we will see.

[Darksheare]

One can only hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Especially with these Bill of Rights hating clowns in DC at the moment.

[Abathar]

I wonder how many guys that spent $1+/round in the feeding frenzy after it was announced are kicking themselves in the arse right now...

[Red Steel]

So what changed the ATF’s mind?

- - - -

The huge avalanche of negative comments from citizens.

Were caught in their violation to ignore the clear and unambiguous language of the law.

Congress’s legislation to do away with the ATF.

Congress’s legislation to reverse any M855 ban.

The House Judiciary and Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security Committees letter that was signed by 237 Cong critter opposing the ATF.

[Red Steel]

One more. The threat of court suit where losing was about 100%.

[PLMerite]

There’s still going to be a run on anything 5.56/.223.

Anybody checked where these guys have their 401ks invested?

[demshateGod]

Since I've never used it, I didn't buy any. I have a close friend who bought a bunch of 5.56 fmj. Just in case.

[familyop]

"So what changed the ATF’s mind?"

The huge avalanche of negative comments from citizens." [along with letters and calls to members of Congress.]

Good work on the part of all who sent comments. With the contemporary recreational drug and conspiracy theory paradigm affecting many, we'll need even more responses from lucid, conservative citizens in the near future.

[demshateGod]

And anyway. This is a great time to buy ammo. It’s cheaper than it was before the panic, and will never be this cheap again.

[skimbell]

He11 yes! If you buy a gun, get a carry permit, and in some places buy ammo, the BTA' s got their nose in it.

Some real "non-infringing'" going on here.

[mad_as_he$$]

Razors edge says just stupid people. The local ATF guy I know was even laughing at the stupid.

[Georgia Girl 2]

“Thank you for your interest”

There’s the first lie. :-)

[mad_as_he$$]

Yes and it would of been salt water in the wound of the interstate pistol decision late last year.

[Carry_Okie]

Your attitude is noted, comrade.

Just because I'd rather make an anonymous donation to SAF or JPFO doesn't make me a weak-kneed shill. It simply means I don't hand my enemies weapons foolishly.
