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

When are they implementing the ban on .22-250, .25-06, .30-06, .308, etc., etc. there are so many calibers capable of penetrating body armor, are they going to ban them all? I remember my father in law having surplus armor piercing 30-06 rounds in the seventies, like many others, but I can't ever recall hearing about a police officer killed by one and the .223's they want to ban aren't armor piercing.

Didnt Obama & Co. recently try to harass police in Ferguson with threats of violating constitutionally nonexistent federal civil rights laws in order to win votes from low-information voters?
And now lawless Obama wants to exercise constitutionally nonexistant federal gov. powers to protect police?
What is wrong with this picture?

Let’s make something clear this liar isn’t even talking about cops getting shot with an AR-15 rifle. Any moron knows that rifles will penetrate soft armor with any ammunition. He says:
Mr. Earnest added, This seems to be an area where everyone should agree that if there are armor-piercing bullets available that can fit into easily concealed weapons, that it puts our law enforcement at considerably more risk.
He’s claiming that your AR pistol is “easily concealable”. I don’t know what kind of clown pants you wear but I’m gonna say no, it’s not.
But what about those .223 derringers? They have a .8” barrel and the fireball is the biggest danger. The bullet comes out about 1200 fps, so they are significantly less powerful than most pistols.

"Armor piercing bullets available that can fit into easily concealed weapons, that it puts our law enforcement at considerably more risk" Easily conceal an 18-20" barrel rifle, this goof choked on his own words.

Is that before or after Obama sics the DOJ on them for civil rights violations?

I don't want on the ping list. However, damned if you do or damned if you don't. The EPA wants to ban lead in bullets and now BAFT wants to ban bullets with less lead in them. Who you going to please?

Ergo banning all bullets would save almost all cop lives.
I detect a trend. Where this is going.

What kinda BS is this? Oh, the green kind with yellow stripes.
How many LEOs have been killed with an “assault” rife using .223 ammo? How many LEOs have been killed with a hand gun?
This is pure unadulterated crap.

Not just scapegoat a kind of gun, scapegoat the kind of gun that figured in less than 1% of fatalities of officers pursuing lawful duties?
This isn’t even lefty, it is a caricature of lefty.

How many cops were EVER shot with a “cop killer” tefflon coated pistol bullet?
If none were, how do we know the bullet is a “cop killer”?
To: Nachum
Under 2% of gun crimes involve `assault rifles’.
Those pesky facts again .....
