This article presents a concern for those that have M855 in states with laws regarding armor piercing ammunition. Anyone familiar with the Oklahoma law and how M855 owners would be affected?

...Arguably the most disturbing part of the proposal is ATF’s dedication to implementing the new rule and associated disregard for the state-level ramifications of such a ruling. At this time, as many as twelve states (Alabama, California, Connecticut, Indiana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas) explicitly forbid the possession of armor piercing ammunition. In several of these, possession constitutes a felony. Simply put, the proposal would instantly turn thousands of peaceable gun owners into felons simply because ATF chose to arbitrarily reclassify one of the most popular 5.56mm cartridges on the market. The consequences of such an action could be quite severe, but at minimum, thousands of gun owners will have sufficient standing to bring the agency to court....

Generic 2A email from Lankford, coincidentally the same day got a mass snail mailing from him asking for money. Dick.

Nothing from Cole or Inhofe.

Same here.

I'm sure we all got the same response from Lankford. Probably will from the others too. It pissed me off enough that I almost replied back again to chastise him for sending a response that didn't even mention the issue raised. Seems a waist of his staff's time and would probably be on our part to reply and ask about the ATF. If I get bored enough I still might tho.
