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.

The NRA Director went on to support strong enforcement of his proposed ammunition ban, using phrases like "prison for life."

What will it take for you, a personal call from Craig himself that he wants to ban armor piercing ammunition from American civilians?

AND, Craig will leave to the AG the unbridled authority to determine arbitrarily what is Armor Piercing Ammo.

Could well be any hunting, or FMJ round that is REQUIRED for use in all NRA/CMP Service rifle and Pistol competitions, including at Camp Perry.

Gun Control isn't about GUNS

no nonsense support of the right to keep and bear arms

It's about Control
