Black Talon isn't AP ammunition.

It's a pre scored hollowpoint with no better penetration than any other hollow point.

Correct. "Black Talon" was a stupid marketeer's idea -- combine a softpoint bullet with black enamel and sooper-eeevul ad copy to appeal to idjits to part them from their money. It backfired.

This proposal is very ominous. It is a "camel's nose under the tent" attempt to quietly prohibit all centirefire rifle ammunition.

If this goes through, the only thing your deer rifle will be good for is firing blanks during "reenactment" games.

The fact that they're downplaying it so much tells us that they mean business. This isn't an agitprop exercise, designed to give them something to rant and rave about. This is the real deal. They're going in for the kill.
