On the Senate floor today, he introduced, discussed, defended and tried to justify the "Craig/Frist" amendment. This amendment, said Craig, is needed "to strengthen current armor piercing ammunition law." NRA's point-man in the U.S. Senate says that this is "what the law enforcement community needs."

"We don't want to wipe out the hunting and sporting ammunition," said Craig. The "sporting purpose" test was used before -- as justification for firearm rights infringements via the 1938 Nazi Weapons Law and later copied nearly verbatim in the U.S. Gun Control Act of 1968.

"Let's send a message that armor piercing ammunition is flat off limits," said Sen. Craig.

Thank you, Shooter 2.5, for motivating me to reread this. Now that I read it all in context again I see that Sen. Craig means that AP ammo should be off limits to the public not to legislation. The study is for just what I've been saying it's for; coming up with new ways to define "armor piercing" ammunition.
