Impending “Armor-Piercing” Ammo Ban Bill Undermines Argument to Ban “Green Tip” Rounds

When the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives backed off from (for the moment) last week from their intent to ban M855 “green tip” ammunition, because of the threat it ostensibly poses to law enforcement officers (a “threat” that seems not to ever have materialized in the nearly 30 years of the ammo’s availability on the civilian market), the anguished bleating of the gun ban zealots was long and loud.

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence called it a “[v]ery disappointing decision”–language echoed by House Democrats, who added their contention that it is within BATFE Director B. Todd Jones’ “existing authority” to go ahead with such bans. Congressman Eliot Engel, (D-NY) was in particularly high dudgeon:

“Armor piercing rounds like green tips should only be in the hands of military personnel or police officers, period. There is absolutely no compelling argument to be made for anyone else to have access to them,” Congressman Engel said. “But the out of touch gun industry lobby is fighting tooth and nail to keep cop-killing ammunition [which seems not, in nearly 30 years, succeeded in killing a single cop] on the streets. We need to speak up on behalf of our police officers and say ‘stop the madness.'”

Engel introduced his bill to ban “armor piercing” ammunition last week, with H.R. 1358, the “Armor-Piercing Bullets Act.” From the text of the bill, the intent seems to be to grant the BATFE the authority to do just want that agency wanted to, with the proposed M855 ban. The obvious question here would be, “If the BATFE already, as House Democrats claim, has statutory authority to implement such bans, why would Engel feel the need to introduce legislation granting that authority”? Engel also indicated that he would soon be once again introducing his perennial attempt to ban the FN Five-seveN and its ammo–another “cop-killer” with little if any history of “cop-killing” in the U.S.

FK – Are we to assume that all these commies are representing that much support for this evil in their home districts or are they under orders from other places? Those are the questions that matter.

ATF Makes a “Tactical Retreat” in the Face of Overwhelming Opposition to its Ammo Ban

ATF cries “uncle” after getting hammered from the public

The agency is now crying “uncle,” in the face of thousands upon thousands of negative comments from gun owners all around the country — including more than 200 congressmen.

The agency said today:

Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study.

A “good faith interpretation”?  Well, that’s laughable.  But realize the agency says the issue deserves “further study.”

So now the question becomes:  Is this a genuine retreat, or just a “tactical retreat,” as we saw with Operation Choke Point?  In that case, the federal government removed gun dealers from its “risky business list,” but continue to persecute them under that program on a case-by-case basis.

And, finally, what about the ban on Russian-made 7N6 ammo, which is not reversed by ATF’s reversal?

Our answer to both of these questions is that we need to keep up the pressure — and not trust ATF’s purported “change of heart.”

GOA will keep watching the ATF and alert you to any future attempts to slip a ban by the American people.

FK – When the BATF Nazi trash mentions ‘faith’ it means in an all powerful force of murdering government goons.

Governments will always be able to get guns thus we need to be better armed than them.

FK – The ‘crime’ issue is a red herring. Even if ‘gun control’ could be proven to lower crime it would still be evil.

All ‘gun control’ is propaganda designed to condition the sheeple to more ‘control’ until full civilian disarmament is achieved. Thus all gun control is an act of war. All who forward it should be arrested, tried for treason against Human Liberty and executed.

Not all the trash is in the same can:

White House Spits in our Face over AR-15 Ban

ACTION:  Contact your Senators.  Demand that they oppose the Lynch nomination, and do everything in their power to get the ammunition ban reversed.
Senators can use the Lynch nomination to hold Obama accountable

A smirking White House spokesman Josh Earnest couldn’t conceal his glee, yesterday, as he reveled in the trick Obama had played on the Second Amendment movement.

Think back to April 17, 2013, when the Senate killed the Feinstein amendment to ban the AR-15 by a vote of 60-40.  This fell 20 votes short of the needed 60, even though Democrats controlled the Senate at the time. But now Obama is trying to effectively ban the AR-15 by “regulatory fiat” by banning the most common ammunition used in that firearm, M855 ammunition.

But a gushing Earnest was unrepentant:  “The President has long believed that there are some commonsense steps that we can take … taking some commonsense steps to prevent people who shouldn’t have guns from getting guns.”

FK – How much longer?

FK – It would be best for the current generation to do what will be required before future generations are outnumbered. It can and will happen. We should be building the military structure NOW that will be necessary to save what’s left of the Bill of Rights. It will come to that. It always does.

If concealed carry is so bad, why do so many people do it?

FK – Because it’s not about common ‘crime.’ It’s about our domestic blood enemies disarming us so we can’t kill them when enough finally wake up to the necessity of doing so.

FK – One wonders if the attendees will be required to disarm before listening to these whores as they were for McCommie at the convention in Louisville a few years back.

If the NRA had a backbone it would require everyone attending to be carrying a rifle to send our future and present elected public SERVANTS a message.

Now some attention to the insanity our domestic blood enemies represent:
