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

What a crock of sh!t. First off, let’s see the stats showing the number of law enforcement officers killed with .223 or 5.56 ammo, of ANY configuration or make. I venture to say such numbers are...well, small.
My first question is: Exactly how many policemen have been shot with this ammo, considering it has been out there for at least a decade? 2,500, 10,000, 15,000 ... exactly how many are we talking about?
Bullets at home are easy, I don't think there is a 3D printer yet that can make a shell case that will stand up to the pressure.
Purty sure that would be NEVAR!
Show the actual shooting numbers for this exact bullet compared to other same caliber bullets. Demonstrate that it is this bullet responsible for their claim with documentation and numbers.
Not buying it. I’m quite sure, based on my experience as a former law enforcement officer, that a good number of police officers are killed with their own weapons. They always told us in training “ If you are involved in a fight while trying to make an arrest, remember a gun is always present, your own.” Just what Michael Brown had in mind.
How many cops have died from that bullet? I call BS!
The scum traitors only need one.
Unless there is a metal printer. Also, there are home based mills for making receivers already, Why not bullet casings? They cannot stop this, no matter how hard they try.
Tyrants gonna tyrannize...
Lyin sacks of Obama gonna lie...
“White House says”
Therefore we know it’s false.
Barry Soetoro is a pathological liar, and surrounds himself with them.
Anarcho-tyranny.
If somebody punched the Muslim in the White House in the mouth every time he lied, you’d have invented a perpetual motion machine...
How many cops have been killed by .223 ammo?
Another couple of words to add to the “we know you’re lying when you say them list.” Common Sense Step. It’s particularly vexing coming from people who have no common sense and wouldn’t know it if it bit them on the a$$.
The ban won’t save Obama’s career. This is the last straw, and he has now gone one iota too far.
And “Africa.” Ya wanna shorten your life, try touchin’ po-po’s gun.
Wasn’t this the objective for some other ammo a few months ago only to have everyone retreat from that? Do they have a check list with all ammo on it and go down the line checking them off until they get one that will actually be banned? There isn’t anyone in the WH who could tell the difference between any of that ammo and a standard .22 shell.
