The Obama administration is reconsidering its proposal to ban a popular type of rifle bullet—named for their distinctive green tips—after gun owners, lobbyists and members of Congress opposed the ban, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said on Tuesday.
At issue is whether green tips qualify as armor-piercing ammunition, and if so, whether the ATF should revoke a 30-year-old regulatory exemption for the rounds based on their popularity in shooting sports. |

more word play games upon purposefully vague definitions: anyone can swage jacketed bullets with the correct dies...m855 just has an extra step of adding steel tip (nail, any sharpened round stock)...with (short) 32 gr. lead core. The recently-atf-banned combloc 5.45 (.20) round had an air gap between so...just add plastic spacer. [to reload, use a .222 case].
what armor to pierce?, all the tacticool units have hard chest plate which will stop nearly anything, even one out that'll stop .50bmg ap black tip-just divots surface 2 or 3mm.
same word play with 80% blanks...term "indexing"

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
