The White House said Monday that President Obama believes a ban on bullets commonly used with the AR-15 rifle will save police officers’ lives. “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,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is accepting public comment on an administration proposal to ban .223 M855 “green tip” ammunition most often used with AR-15 rifles. House lawmakers from both parties, as well as sportsmen and some law enforcement officials, are

“Anyone have any idea when a police officer was last
shot with a green tip?”

Wouldn’t it be great if one of these presstitutes actually ASKED that question???

I recently learned from a fairly reliable source that the military has had reliability problems with the M855A1 ammunition, as it has a very short shelf life. It begins to oxidize rapidly and has to be shot up before it loses its reliability. That could explain why so much of the stuff is on the commercial market now at bargain prices.

That’s a big lie. To my knowledge no police officer has been killed with an AR.

This is just Obama’s way of taking citizens guns. The guns are obviously worthless with ammo.

The Totalitarian-And-Sheik has spoken.

How come it's OK for his Sunni homies in the Saudi fatherland to tote weaponry?

Yeh when was the last time a cop got shot by a green tip? Mostly its handguns and Sat night specials at that.

You have the M855A1 confused with the M855. M855 is surplus since the military does not use it anymore.
