“Sort of.”

The legality of so-called armor-piercing bullets is actually a fascinating subject; I got interested and googled a little on the topic yesterday.

Here’s a couple links to get you started: http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcgvcopk.html
http://gunwalker.com/5.7x28mm/armorpiercing.html

...and there’s lots more on the interwebz.

"Aren’t armor piercing bullets already banned"

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think that is only new production sales. I have 3 unopened spam cans of the stuff in .308, that's 1620 rounds if I'm remembering correctly. It's buried in a pile I'm not to enthusiastic about digging through, but I known it's in there somewhere... I just haven't seen it in a couple of decades.
