"In a blog piece at American Thinker yesterday, Michael Filozof, warned readers that Obama is using executive agency powers to make an end-run on the 2nd Amendment by banning ... the 5.56x45mm, 62 grain, M-855 military round. Mass-produced for use by our military, it is quite popular among American gun owners due to its relatively low cost. Ammunition manufacturers producing billions of rounds for military use have no problem in turning out an extra billion for civilian shooters. The ready availability of 5.56mm leads many American shooting enthusiasts to purchase very large numbers of the civilian versions of the military rifles that fire it."

There's a certain irony in this proposed ban. BATF is proposing this ban as a "life saving" measure for LEOs. But the NATO-inspired M-855 round has long been cited for its poor performance in combat, noting its tendency to "punch through" enemy combatants without inflicting immediately disabling wounds.
Then there's the awkward issue of some 30 yrs. surplus sales of this ammo without any statistical documentation supporting its creating any increased threat to law enforcement. Maybe Americans of every political pursuasion ought to be seriously questioning the Obama Administration's motives in this instance. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
