Thank you for your interest in ATF's proposed framework for determining whether certain projectiles are “primarily intended for sporting purposes” within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)(C). The informal comment period will close on Monday, March 16, 2015. ATF has already received more than 80,000 comments, which will be made publicly available as soon as practicable.
Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study. Accordingly, ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework. After the close of the comment period, ATF will process the comments received, further evaluate the issues raised therein, and provide additional open and transparent process (for example, through additional proposals and opportunities for comment) before proceeding with any framework.
This means they are going to outlaw them in a document-dump on Friday at 5:01 PM EST.
Good.
Somewhere, out there, a petty, undocumented, half-breed, tyrant is undoubtedly all wee-weed up.
Win!
“and include issues that deserve further study.”
Translation: “Those of you who we have identified will be getting extra special study.”
We lied, we don’t have a good alibi, that is all.
“Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen”... Uh, what a load of crap that statement is. Basically, they got busted. Back handed apology/slap in the face.

"We're going to be knocking on doors at 3AM all over the country, (looking for/trying to fabricate) evidence of wrongdoing."
More than likely.
Proof we do not need the BATFE.
Stop the funding, make them sell their long folding tables.

double post, idiot!
I’m one of those 80,000. I basically wrote that the existing law didn’t allow them to ban the ammo. This is really good news. I wonder how many people bought up M855 in hopes of hording it.
LOL. Maybe, but I think that’s basically a white flag. I think it’s further study similar to OJ Simpsons quest for the real killer.
Don't worry...next time they will not let it leak out...they will just issue the ban as so people will not stock up!
The signatories of those letters will of course go into an ATF database. Quickest and easiest “gun registration” gambit I’ve ever seen.
For something that is supposedly a victory — this smells an awful lot like a trap or a false flag.
Where was this effort when 7N6 was banned?
And the ATF won’t stop. They are just going to wait and quietly ban it during the next national crisis.
Even if they suspend the ban on M855 - you ain’t gettin’ any.
It’ll be as scarce as .22LR.
