It’s started.
As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is putting the ban on 5.56mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.

In this case I’ll put the blame on those who stayed home; they had a choice to remove a known Marxist, but failed to act.
Isn’t this the standard round used by the military? They going to dump the M-16.
Wait one cotton picking minute here ...didn’t he and his administration the DOJ just announced to the world to ignore the judges orders on amnesty? If so why should we obey his executive orders on bullet control? !!! The gun manufactures should just ignore his executive orders....PERIOD! END of discussion! Hey ...Breaking the law works both ways!
...An islamist dictatorship.
I’m tired of the non-voters making excuses for helping Obama get elected.
I stand corrected! :)
All’s he doing is galvanizing the right and damaging the left’s chances of winning in 2016...and, of course, selling guns and ammo.
You are sadly mistaken. The GOP caused that.
RINO lovers need to be treated with just as much animosity as leftists, because in all reality, that is what they are. Start acting like a real American.
In his last two years he intends to really mess this country up.
No, it’s not the standard military round.
It doesn’t really even meet the definition of AP.
It’s not used in crimes, and neither are AR pistols.
How many other rounds are they going to label AP?
How about the all copper bullets? Are they next?
You're damn right. I refuse to vote for another GOP candidate. Ain't gonna happen. R's had the House, Senate and WH from 2000-2006. We got nothing but the Patriot Act and Med Part D. The GOP is dead to me. I won't vote for another.
Yeah. Romney would have banned bullets and triggers.
Some of us tried to warn America that to not elect Romney would result in King Obama destroying America to a point where we will be a communists Democratic Party dictatorship. Here we are. And don't get hopes up for 2016. It's gone already.
So will .22 LR.
What utter BS.
That’s lame and weak.
Romney would have been a thousand times better than this bastard.
According to the article, the ban is for any ammo that can pierce soft body armor and be found in a handgun platform.
Technically, most shotgun slug ammo is armor piercing, but so far there isn’t a shotgun handgun available (only class 3 shorties) or all slug ammo could be banned under this rule.
Most high velocity rifle calibers are armor piercing even without the steel core (green tip). This would include 30.06 and .30-.30 as well as most high velocity .223, .308, .338 lupua, .50 caliber, etc. Only hard plate body armor can stop these type of rounds and the rule is specific to soft body armor.
Impeach the Marxist, Muslim. He has more then proven himself to be a traitorous, treasonous anti-American.
