If you like your m855, you can keep your m855

Every member of the Oklahoma delegation in the HoR signatures should be on the Goodlathe letter, are they?

News 9 covered the story last night

Of course they referred to the AR15 as like the one used by the military and that the bullets are magnetic.

Focus on the story was more about the run on 5.56 ammo rather than the absurdity of the proposed ban.

ATF’s “Armor-Piercing” Ammo Ban May Spectacularly Backfire, Renew Interest In Military-Style Rifles
Posted by Bob Owens on March 1, 2015 at 1:46 pm

..."The bill would not only block the ATF from banning common rifle caliber bullets in the present and future, but would also reverse existing bans on rifle ammunition common on the world market, such as the ATF’s April 2014 ban on 7N6 military surplus ammunition popular in 5.45×39 rifles, and a long-standing ban on M43-style 7.62×39 ammunition with a mild steel core."...

That is good news. Hope it goes the way the article states it is leaning towards.

Even if it gets through Congress, it'd still need the President's signature.

By the time it takes to get through this congress, there will be a new president.

And just think, people actually believed that Obama wasn't really gonna do anything when it comes to our 2A rights. Yeah right. Some people really need to wake up. This ain't gonna be the end of it.

Now he's going to increase taxes on corporations by executive fiat, just like he's attempting to do with illegal alien amnesty. So, should the GOP have caved on DHS funding? I think not. We have a lame duck Congress right now. They couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

Put bluntly, this is nothing more or less than a big “foxtrot uniform” (NSFW) to gun owners from a petty and vindictive President who has a long and storied history of spiteful attacks against those he does not like.

In the end, we’re being charitable when we chalk up Obama’s attempt to ban M855 as a scornful and clearly unconstitutional attack on the Second Amendment.

Others are viewing it as a prelude of an attempt to ban all rifle ammunition, as all centerfire rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and target shooting will penetrate police body armor designed to stop pistol bullets.

We’ve fought wars in this nation for less, starting with a little attempt to confiscate ammunition in the towns of Lexington and Concord on a chilly April morning in 1775.

Tread carefully, Mr. President.
