As I’ve read only the 62grain steel tipped (Green tip) ammo is under fire. Not the 55grain ball round.

I don’t like it but this being called the “End of the AR15” is unwarranted.

How many people are actually shot each year with an AR-15 in the USA? I bet more people are hit by lightning.

it would be curious to see if this spawns any new variants chambered in odd calibers...

I bought 200 rnds 5.56 and 200 rnds of 223 yesterday to add to my inventory. My AR 180 is designed for the 5.56 but will also shoot the 223 with no problem. I will keep the 223 rnds in reserve (if not needed) as a trade item.

This is just another case of the camel with his nose in the tent. Anyone who believes the anti-Second Amendment crowd will be satisfied with this infringement is willfully stupid.

The power mad Socialists have to get rid of the First Amendment, controlling the internet, and the Second Amendment, which allows citizens to fight for freedom when necessary.

The Founders designed American government so as not to have any “fast track”. Slow and steady or goes the liberty.

They are gonna nibble around the edges rather than attempting a bite out the middle. Beware of them trying to lull you into thinking nothing bad is happening. There is a liberty destroying motive behind every move they make.

From what I understand, this is the armor piercing ammo that they are going after. Why would everyday patriots need something that powerful, you ask?

Don’t you suppose that ISIS or any rogue government, including the United States Military under the leadership of a communist dictator, will come after us wearing armor? And if a ragtag band of Muslim “extremists” can’t afford it, Obama the Benevolent will surely supply it. Our firepower has to be able to match the worst of the worst or we might as well be fighting for our very existence with nothing more than sticks and stones. The regime knows this. Never, never trust them.

Fox News is NOT HELPING! They are implying that ALL AR-15 ammo is going to be banned. It is NOT! This is causing another buying panic, and if you look at GunBot, there's like no .223 or 5.56 ammo to buy!

Glad I've gotten a lot of reloading components...

Surprisingly, there’s not a word about this on any of the leftist propaganda sites, including Facebook. You’d think the gun grabbers would be praising the heavens about this.

Haven’t checked myself but my Facebook feed locals are reporting Sportsman’s Warehouse is sold out of ALL .223 and 5.56 ammo.

Panic buying again
