Barack Obama and the ATF are in the news again with their attempt to ban the M855 projectile. The popular cartridge can be found in 5.56x45mm or .223 rifles, most notably the AR-15. The ATF claims their intent is to protect law enforcement. Of course, facts and logic, not to mention liberty, are insufficient deterrents for the agency.
Currently, the ATF has a ban on armor-piercing rounds for handguns. The standard handgun round, like the small calibers used in most gun crime, are incapable of penetrating body armor. |

Seems like another has fallen into the liberal's trap ! The key is their claim re 5.56mm pistols. Physics decrees most CF rounds will penetrate any police soft body armor regardless of bullet construction. And there's a variety of speciality handguns firing CF rifle rounds.
Think "stare decsis", or to us public, "precedent". Once established, BATFE can use this precedent to ban everything from a .222 to a .35 Rem (or larger) based solely on its use in a handgun. But even police view criminal use of 5.56mm handguns as a non-issue. So gun owners/users need to be asking "what's the reason ? " |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
