Paul Bedard, I’m on your side but you are bs-ing here. This is about Green Tip ammo, not all .223... and surprisingly, the BATF actually makes a damned good case on why the green tip had to go.

Green tip is AP, and AP cannot be sold for pistols. They exempted AP Green Tip .223 because in 1986, when the exemption was issued, there were no AR pistols. Now there are.

And dude, I am 100% pro-gun. I dont believe ANY ammo bans are cool. But, at least they were consistent and didn’t make up law (this time)

M855/SS109 is not armor piercing.

It's doesn't contain a solid steel core. M193 will penetrate soft body armor just as much as M855.

In the early 80s I bought a TC Super 14 Contender in 223 caliber. Handguns have been available for the caliber for decades.

Finally. I see this as a sop to the anti-gunners...keeping the issue out there since he hasn’t been able to do squat about gun control. Those of us that live in the real world know that March and April are also the prime months for school shootings. Stay tuned.

WTF?! Make a damn good case?

Um, those green tips would be NEEDED when the 2nd is again put to use. Anyone think that gov’t would come unarmed, unarmored and in the open??
