"In a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, ATF Director B. Todd Jones said all types of the 5.56 military-style ammo used by shooters pose a threat to police as more people buy the AR-15-style pistols.

"Any 5.56 round" is "a challenge for officer safety," he said. Jones asked lawmakers to help in a review of a 1986 bill written to protect police from so-called "cop killer" rounds that largely exempted rifle ammo like the 5.56 because it has been used by target shooters, not criminals."

Mar. 16, 2015 10:37am Pete Kasperowicz

Won't even make it to the floor since Repubs control both houses...

By BARBARA HOBEROCK World Capitol Bureau
Posted: Wednesday, March 18, 2015 12:00 am

Attorney General Scott Pruitt and 22 of his counterparts are urging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to permanently discard a proposed ban on a certain type of ammunition...
Pruitt and 22 other state attorneys general wrote a Monday letter to B. Todd Jones, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, urging him not to revive the proposed ban.

From OKNewshawk's link above:

..."Pruitt said in a news release Tuesday that the proposed ban was not about safety and more about imposing the administration’s anti-gun agenda."...

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RugersGR8]

OK AG S. Pruitt said, “In Oklahoma, we have a profound and deep respect for the Constitution in general and the Second Amendment in particular.”


Too bad the lib dems(their sycophants in the MSM included) don't have the same feelings.
