The ATF's ammo ban is back.....

in the Form of a New Bill From Democrats

Four House Democrats have taken the Obama administration’s idea of a regulation to ban a widely used kind of ammunition — one it had to pull back because it was so unpopular — and turned it into legislation.


“As the ATF rightly pointed out, these rounds can easily be loaded into concealed pistols and other short guns, making them particularly dangerous to police officers,” Engel noted. “The well-being of the men and women who protect us should not, and need not, be a partisan issue. I encourage all of my colleagues in Congress to support this obvious measure that will, if enacted, save lives.”


I'm curious, since I don't own one, how easy is it to conceal an AR pistol?

easier than hiding a full sized pickup truck which anyone with the wrong intententions could just as easily procure?

I hope my comment isn't misconceived...officer safety is important to me, but that isn't what this is about?
why not ban gas because it can be used in arson? Maybe I'm not educated enough to comment but what I heard is that the stuff on the table doesn't even fit the definition(AP).

Not sure how banning ammo that has never been shown to have killed a cop would save the life of a cop but that never means anything when it comes to banning something.

It worked with banning grenade launcher on a rifle, seems to have save countless lives since enacted. ;)

As in, everyone that did not die since then was saved from meeting their maker via launched grenade! Yup, in their [u]world[/u] mind that's how it works
