But not for long...

"Some ammunition that was previously exempted as “primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes,” specifically 5.56mm constituent projectiles of SS109 and M855 cartridges, will again be regulated as “armor piercing ammunition.” Except as provided by law, no person may manufacture or import such ammunition, and manufacturers or importers may not sell or deliver such ammunition. ATF will maintain the exemption for 30-06 M2AP cartridges

Proposed change to ATF regulatory framework for "armor piercing" ammunition

Now if we can just do away with voter ID laws, this country will be everything the terrorist in Chief wants it to be.

Make no mistake. The administration is trying to prevent that which - if they continue on their present course - they are making necessary. The very essence of the Second Amendment is to prevent government from standing in the way of the power we need to keep feral government at bay, humble, and subservient to We the People.

The Second Amendment is also a warning to any potential feral government. If the Second Amendment is abided by one and all, the potential number of lives saved will be in the millions, for it would likely cost millions of lives to preserve our rights and freedoms from those who would attempt to scuttle those rights and freedoms for their own nefarious desires.

Write those letters, make a few calls, and don't be afraid to exercise your freedom of speech in telling those in government where you stand in the right and where they stand in servitude. This is a constituted republic, after all. They have power - only the power - we granted them in the Constitution, and each and every one of us are no less one of We the People who wrote and ratified the Constitution, and only We the People have power over the Constitution via the amendment process. I can find no clause in or amendment to the Constitution that allows the government to trample on our rights, freedoms, and our pursuit of property, happiness, and security as it has already done in so many ways.

Soon, government will break that glass ceiling over those abuses that are beyond "light and transient causes" if it remains on its current course. The better prepared you are, the less likely the light and transient causes will become a danger to us.

Don't argue their reasoning. Make them defend their assault on your Right to Keep and Bear Arms and the danger of subjecting you to slavery they will place you under should they succeed even in the slightest. They are not concerned with you being armed with ammo that will penetrate the body armor of law enforcement. They are concerned with you having ammo that will penetrate their own armor.

There is a nefarious reason they want you disarmed. We the People don't want to be disarmed because of those reasons those who have made their way into government wish to impose. We said it plain and simple in the Constitution.

Isn't the M855A1 projectile the one that Liberty Ammunition sued the DOD for patent infringement and won the case?

They get ID when they get their DL and SS card.
