Have been following a thread on the M14Forum on this:

"Remember Boys and Girls....
The Second Amendment;
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" does not cover AMMO !
This includes Cases / Hulls, Bullets / Shot, Powder and Primers
Imagine that, they can ban any and all Ammo (and their components) from personal / privet purchase and there is nothing, not a thing that says they can't
Kinds sucks right ?"

THAT is what keeps me awake at night ! ! !

They've been banning ammo for years.  Now guys finally care when it's 5.56.  Many guys have said, "I've got no dog in this fight", when certain 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 were banned.

If you're not one of the 'don't upset the apple cart' guys, write a letter and make some calls.

Funny because M193 pierces armor better than M855 at close range.

I've never been a fan of M855, but obviously this is unconstitutional. If M855 is armor piercing, then just about all rifle ammo is.

Didn't this whole morass start with the Winchester Black Talon, which wasn't armor piercing BTW.

...and if you read the actual notice from the BATF&E it refers to "no sporting purpose" throughout the whole ruling. 

Now that the 2nd has been ruled an individual right of We The People, one would think that sporting purpose has nothing to do with anything being restricted or our rights to own it "infringed".

Earl, exactly, chipping away a small piece at a time of the block. can start it crumbling! 
It has always been about CONTROL! 
Given an inch, the bastards will not stop at a mile either!

You have to wonder when they will try to declare a "Marshall Law" type fiasco...or set the wheels in motion to civil uprising!
Once it starts then, things will be a "hell storm"!

Naturally, there is a whitehouse petition up, but these things are usually laughed at by the administration and then targeted as items they need to go after.

The Republican House and Senate would never let this happen.

I guess everyone has forgotten (or worse, don't care about) the lessons of the Nazi's from the 1930's.........................

Well, I guess that takes care of any thoughts I might have had of getting one if this sh#$t from this asshole in the White House continues?

The Republican House and Senate would never let this happen.

They would have to vote to de-fund the agency. 

Let's not pretend that the BATFE is not taking orders from the potus...

[Wolfie]

Just got back from the gun store and there is a run on this ammo and they will not amp up production.

But there is good news, .22 ammo is available and dropping in price.

I would like to thank Obama for all the extra .22 ammo out there that is cheap.

[redbaron007]

The NRA-ILA states it was a result of King Obama's EOs. Which one? I'm not sure there was one specifically addressing this.

My guess, it has trickled down through the WH to the BATF to change their interpretation; which is in their confines to do....not that I like it....but as Shadow stated, you give them an mm and they take a mile! This has been a lot of what King Obama likes to do, that and issue executive orders and memos. All presidents do this; unfortunately, this president has done more EOs and EMs than any other president to get their agenda through.

Hence, voting matters.

I think they are using a portion of Nixons guns laws that protect law enforcement as justification.
