Like most of this "most transparent administration", contentions this is another multilevel lie. BATF has yet to produce statistics/data substantiating the M855 "threat" to police body armor. It doesn't meet the USDOD or NATO definition of "armor piercing" construction. Nor are any of the 5.56mm "pistols" actions significantly "smaller" than their rifle counterparts due to mechanical limitations. But there is an undesirable impact from this proposed ban.
It would negatively impact the training programs of the nation's Police Departments (now armed with AR-type "assault weapons" by this administration) that purchase their training ammo in the same market as civilians. An "unintended consequence" ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
