[h=1]Obama to ban bullets by executive action, threatens top-selling AR-15 rifle[/h]http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2560750


Wednesday night, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, stepped in with a critical letter to the bureau demanding it explain the surprise and abrupt bullet ban. The letter is shown below.
The National Rifle Association, which is working with Goodlatte to gather co-signers, told Secrets that 30 House members have already co-signed the letter and Goodlatte and the NRA are hoping to get a total of 100 fast.
"The Obama administration was unable to ban America's most popular sporting rifle through the legislative process, so now it's trying to ban commonly owned and used ammunition through regulation," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA-ILA, the group's policy and lobby shop. "The NRA and our tens of millions of supporters across the country will fight to stop President Obama's latest attack on our Second Amendment freedoms."



Will they be banning the police from using the very same ammo?




I find it striking how willing this dirtbag is willing to ignore the constitution at will.

Also stunning is this notion of "police safety" as the reason.


How many officers have been killed by M885?

Exactly what was his executive action?
 
I thought it was just the green tip "penetrator" rounds. M855 I think. Oh, and I lost all mine in a fishing trip way off shore.
 
I'll let you re-read what is written...specifically "to ban"

Im trying to understand how he can simply ban them. Even gun control advocates have to see the unconstitutionality of that...... I hope.

If gun control advocates had it in them to see how blatantly unconstitutional this is, then they'd have to see how every other gun control policy that they support is equally unconstitutional.

The most important word in your post is "IF". IF they had it in them. They don't. They give not a **** about the constitution.

Who cares Rev, it's over, we lost. Country is toast, despotism is here now, and no one can see it.
 
LOL, like they care.

I used to be a gun control advocate before I became a Libertarian but I never would have been behind something this blatant.

Fair enough, but this is a severe infringement simply hard to believe.

Not any more or less so than every other gun control policy that has ever been enacted or proposed. All are equally irreconcilable with the letter and the spirit of the Second Amendment.

I find this one even more so due to the fact that it was a unilateral action taken by the President and did not even go through any form of legislature.

Same way the Feds have banned other ammo since 1986?

I'm indifferent to this, but I am interested in knowing why this is such a big deal. Do most people using .223 for their AR type weapons use the affected 'green tip' style bullets? Are they cheaper? More reliable?
 
So Obama isn't banning ammo by executive order.

Glad Snopes cleared that up.

ITs the ATF but of course if Obama was against it, the ATF would not be doing it

If you ban one, you allow the banning for all. The "Reason" for banning is that they penetrate police armor.


Guess what, almost ALL rifle rounds can do this.

I understand. I'm not supporting the possible ban, I just didn't know what it was about the particular 'green tip' bullets that made them popular over a lead round, for example. It appears that they are cheap - maybe that's the big reason they're in such wide use? I was just looking for information from users of the ammo.

To be honest, seems to me a pretty worthless rule change. I do have friends who sell ammo over the web - I bet their business for the affected rounds just exploded. It's pretty ironic in a way that the "anti-gun" Obama probably was the best thing to happen to firearms and ammo makers and sellers in my lifetime.

Bull****.

Show us the Executive Order banning these specific rounds.

Maybe you need to do more research yourself with credible resources to find out who is really behind this (hint: it is not the current administration).

instead of panicking from reading partisan news sources, understand who and what is really happening.

You will also learn how many years this has been under scrutiny, and why.
 
Is this another one of those...

someone somewhere mentioned a gun restriction...NRA inflames their supporters allowing their profits to soar!

Reminds me of the record amounts of ammo being sold as the paranoia generated from the the unsupported rumor that someone somewhere at sometime might ban something affecting somebody eventually maybe!!!
