    OBAMA adminstration moves to ban .223 ammunition

    https://www.nraila.org/articles/2015...mon-ar-15-ammo

    In a move clearly intended by the Obama Administration to suppress the acquisition, ownership and use of AR-15s and other .223 caliber general purpose rifles, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives unexpectedly announced today that it intends to ban commonplace M855 ball ammunition as ?armor piercing ammunition.? The decision continues Obama?s use of his executive authority to impose gun control restrictions and bypass Congress.

    This is funny because previously the M855 ball ammunition had been removed from the AP list.

    More info here
    Military Ammunition and Why Green Tip M855 is Not Armor Piercing : ITS Tactical

    So for the liberals that have said over and over again that Obama is not after our guns, yes they are, just going to take away the bullets attacking what the Supreme Court has said about fire arms which is written in the constitution.
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

          I usually say 2 2 3. Sometimes 2 - 23. I don't know if that is correct or not. But I use it.

            Sounds like a bullshit way for the makers of 223 ammo to move a LOT of product really fast...

            The same way they sold a SHITLOAD of AR-15's after the Sandy Hook shootings and all the bullshit rumors that were started then about assault gun bans...

            Paranoia sells products in America... we are a society based on fear and consumption...

            Go to the ATF website and find where they mention this anywhere... and THEN come back and apologize to everyone for spreading paranoid right wing lies...

              Not done yet, and it's up in the air if it will or not. Especially with public backlash. Even the military doesn't use M855 ammo anymore. It does have sporting uses, and the proposed ban will be violently fought against.

                  Won't be fought against much if Obama does an executive order. Banning an ammo calling it AP when it clearly isn't shows the lengths the current administration will go to for it's agenda.

                  He's going to rally the republicans and cost his party the presidency over shit like this

                      Sport shooting, hunting, home defense, it's a very common round.

                        It's armor piercing rounds, not all .223 rounds. Our village Biker Gnome doesn't read his own articles. I can't think of too many hunters whom use AP ammo to hunt with, but hey lets not get in the way with actual common sense when the Biker Gnome is running amok.

                        It's been a week since he's had anything to be out ragged about after all..

                        also most shooting ranges also ban these same rounds.. oh why do the shooting ranges hate our Freedom!!!
                        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                          Honestly, who cares? It's just a bullet, and Obama is HARDLY coming for your guns. Maybe these bullets are just too dangerous for civilians to have? Who knows, who cares? I'm pretty sure this small move won't put a dent in any gun lovers collection.

                            These idiots fall for it over and over and over again.

                            It's funny how the Obama administration is supposed to be so dysfunctional and foiled by inept leadership, yet manage to take away something every other day.

                              That talks about armor piercing rounds. There is also talk of sporting exemptions.

                              Why do every day American's need armor piercing rounds?

                              For that militia they don't belong to?

                                thanx for skimming over it and not reading it and understanding it, it says that the ammo that they are trying to get rid of is not amour piercing

                                    so just to be clear...an NRA website says its not armor piercing, so that is the truth.



                                    why even think vendzilla? does it drain too much energy, make you tired?

                                      It is armor piercing but was given an exception and removed from the ban list. I know nothing about ammo but I read the NRA link above.

                                        I didn't mean the caliber, I meant that specific ammo that is to be banned. I have .222, and every ammo has some specific use/ usage scenario.

                                          no, the ATF said it's not Armour piercing, glad to know you can't read, it makes so much sense now!!

                                          if you look at the definition of Armour piercing, it is not

                                          they want the caliber, not a specific maker or round, Their excuse is that it can be used in a pistol, i know someone that has a 45.70 in a pistol, that round was used for buffalo rifles

                                            Why do every day American's need armor piercing rounds?

                                            For that militia they don't belong to?

                                              Defeating Ballistic Garments
                                              Soft body armor appears to have little effect on the calibers ability to penetrate and actually seemed to enhance the 40-grain Blitz’s depth of penetration in soft tissue.

                                              From a law enforcement standpoint, the ability of the .223 caliber round to defeat soft body armor, military ballistic helmets and many ballistic shields is a "double-edged sword." The criminal use of body armor is rare, but increasing. Possessing the ability to penetrate and adversary’s protective vest is obviously desirable. However, this round will also defeat law enforcement vests, so great care must be exercised in laying out and observing fields of fire in training and during operations. With this concern over potential fratricide in mind, voices have been raised in some quarters regarding this bilateral tactical attribute. A number of veteran officers strongly embrace The traditional concept that a department’s duty rounds should not exceed the capabilities of their vests. Arguably, this is a sound approach for any law enforcement agency to take for its non-tactical response personnel. However, SWAT, because of its specialized missions, may be a different matter and this later concern, while important, should not dominate the rationale supporting weapons selection by highly competent tactical units.
                                              About .223 Penetration

                                              You don't need to hunt with .223. ***over 40grains
                                              The only logical thing to "hunt" that might be wearing wearing soft body armor is a man ...

                                                Actually 223 is great for varmint hunting

                                                    I am sure you will kill a skunk stone cold dead with a less than a 40 grain load in a .223 caliper -- that ammo will continue to be sold ...

                                                      I don't have .223, but I have .222. I have 50 grain (3,2 g) bullets for fox hunting, and these are lighter ones from two popular bullet weights. Then there are 3,6 g bullets, whatever it makes in grains.

                                                          so you sourcing an organization with the same cred as ISIS only reflects poorly on your intellectual heft.

                                                              my guess is the law enforcement lobby wants this bullet off the street, to protect cops wearing armor. leave it the the NRA to oppose the safety of cops in the name of gun freedom.

Banning heavier bullets might lessen penetration but lighter bullets cause more damage to tissue (unarmoured targets). .223 bullets weighting less than 40 grains are quite "explosive". Not that those lighter bullets should be banned, but I don't see the point in limiting those as the only bullets to be available for that caliber.

I've read about the brain dead NRA...but had hoped they were like the sasquatch, and simply urban folklore. But here we have some actual living and breathing specimens posting on this forum. Wow, this is a special day..
                                                                                                    So where is your proof?
                                                                                                    This is the NRA posting about what the ATF is doing. Who better?
                                                                                                    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
