[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1528182, member: 249"] It looks like since the so called assault weapons can't be banned it looks as if Obama's BATF is looking to go after the most commonly used ammunition that these weapons use by labeling them "armor piercing". The flawed logic being used here is the green tip .223 ammunition referred to as M855 or SS109 variants can be loaded into a pistol, and since armor piercing pistol rounds are not legal they want to classify this rifle ammunition in such a way that makes it illegal too. Its bogus as both the green tip and normal ammunition can pierce most law enforcement armor anyway so the point is mute. Its just another jab at our second amendment rights, and needs to be stopped.
