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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
