The White House on Monday defended the Obama administration’s move to ban certain bullets used in a wildly popular rifle, a proposal that has stirred opposition from Second Amendment advocates and a prominent member of Congress.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is considering a ban on M855 ball ammunition, which pro-gun groups have said is among the most popular cartridge used for the AR-15 rifle and is frequently used for sporting purposes like hunting, because of its so-called “armor-piercing” capabilities.
“It would be fair to say, as we are looking at additional ways to protect our brave men and women in law enforcement, and believe that this process is valuable for that reason alone,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told TheBlaze during the press briefing. “This seems to be an area where everyone should agree that if there are armor-piercing bullets that fit into easily concealed weapons, that puts our law enforcement at considerably more risk.”

“i’ve got 1000 rounds of wolf 7.62 x 39 steel case. how do i know if this is banned and i don’t care.”
Only a 1000? Amateur ;)
According to the CDC, 13,834 people died with an AIDS diagnosis died in 2011.
Which is more dangerous? Why do we hear so much from the Obama administration about controlling the first and nothing about the second?
Put it in the next weekly DHS funding bill that this regulation is impermissible now and in the future. Watch libs heads explode. Rinse, repeat.
“How many more times are the republicans in congress willing to be b*tch-slapped by Obama before they raise a hand to defend themselves?”
How many fish are there in the sea? Grains of sand on the beach? Clouds in the sky?
I’m sick of all of ‘em, I say we “burn this b**ch down!” That’s what Obamalamadingdong’s sons would do.
The rifle and the ammo do not know. That is the important thing.
They like their positions of privilege - they've got all the trappings of power, access to the cloakroom, the cafeteria, & pages, they've got a travel budget and nice per diem. The K Street slugs feed them goodies & eat out of their hands. They don't even have to write or read their own bills.
And they get to look forward to a lucrative retirement.
Why jeopardize all that just to save the country?
Ok BATFE, let’s see the numbers on this.
How many LEOs have been killed with this specific ammo?
How many LEOs have been killed with a hand gun?
Excellent descriptive of the progressive gameplan that the Obola administration has raise to an art form.
Don’t go, I don’t.
It’s rare that I do. Pretty much only when I cannot find something elsewhere.
ok im trying
They do make AR-15 pistols (perfectly legal). But goofy gun control act rules say if you put a stock on it, it becomes a short barreled rifle and illegal to own unless you get a rectal exam and pay a tax.
True - your every day law abiding WV resident wasn’t in trouble - it was the hallow redneck idiot that always packed some cheap semi auto -— but never the so-called Danger Weapon that is listed on this ban...they know legal owners have these and can use them....this is what Big Govt fears...as do all tyrants!
Yeah, EVERYBODY knows you need armor piercing ammo to stop a groundhog.
Don't you just love it when somebody who knows nothing about guns or hunting gets assigned to make authoritative statements about it?
yes
