This is a new issue since there has always been traditional rifle rounds in pistols, its simply the new-ish scary looking "ar pistol" that's being used to justify this kerfuffle.

take the thompson contender pistol, popular for target shooting and hunting. This has been around since ~1967
The police arent worried so much about single shot hunting pistols, and this ban logically cant be about the bullet used either since the rounds in question do not meet the definition of armor piercing as noted by both thesnipa and Arsenic and keeping in mind that almost all larger hunting rifle rounds can pierce soft armor.

comes in a dozen different caliburs, most of them having more oomph then a 223 round.

There was another thread about this in general chat recently I commented on, but simply put the rounds arent true AP bullets, crime isnt being committed with AR pistols since they are far to costly and cumbersome to conceal.


my uncle pistol hunts deer every year, that crazy fuck.

In a 5 year span he went from a 270, to 20 ga. slugs, to only black powder, and now to pistols. Hes simply too good of a shot to enjoy hunting with anything else. Last year i smelted him a lead block to put in the other side of his holster so he can walk straight in the swamp.

Quite a silly move, based on nothing but fears, the real killers are handgun users anyways.

Adding significant insult to injury, the Feds have no intention of taking any public comments submitted during the public comment period for the "proposed" change because it's already been published.

On Friday February 13 at 4:00 pm, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms released a proposal to ban commonly used M855 "green tip" AR-15 ammunition under the guise of law enforcement safety. The same day the proposal was released, on a Friday of a three day holiday weekend, ATF opened up a shortened 30-day period for the public to submit comments about the new regulation.

But it turns out, ATF has been working on a ban of AR-15 "green-tip" ammunition for quite some time and has already issued the ban in its new, 2014 Regulation Guide. For reference, ATF Regulation Guides come out approximately every ten years.


There needs to be an uprising, I swear.

there is a uneasy tension that's coming from at least three different sources. and at the same time there is a feeling of disconnect from the leadership

While I could certainly be wrong (and let me say, I guarantee that such a thing is something he would love to do), I do believe it is only m855 that is being considered for ban by the ATF at the moment, rather than 223/556

It is disgusting and is only intended to continue a pattern of disarming the people, the more we give in the more that will be taken from us. It is a dangerous pattern I hope that we will not let continue.

The ATF is scum and I hope they crash and burn in every possible future aspect of their existence, and I hope people continue to purchase m855, whether it be legally or illegally.
