BATFE To Ban Common AR-15 Ammo

[Dorky_D]

The thing is, I do not blame the run! It is not as if the BATFE has been checked yet.

 

[TECKS]

Does not suprise me, they did this to 5.45x39 The batfe is a department and they should not be able to make enforceable laws.They are part of the executive branch as is the president. What ever happened to checks and balances? I guess our constitution means nothing anymore...

 

[BigMoose]

Ohh there are Balances.... expect a law suit out of this one, it will take time though.

 

[TECKS]

Should be an impeachment instead of a lawsuit...

I just checked gun broker, and all the M855 under 45 cents per round has been gobbled up (there was lots available last week). The average price right now seems to be about 60 cents. How long do you think it will be before it hits $1.00 per round?

Two auctions on Gunbroker for 420-round cans already up to $300 with time left on the clock:

420 Federal 5.56 ammo XM855 Nato 62 gr Green Tip : Rifle Ammunition at GunBroker.com

420 Federal XM855 5.56 ammo 62 gr Penetrator Armor : Rifle Ammunition at GunBroker.com

Here's 300 rounds for $600 buy it now:

300 Federal AE XM855 5.56 223 Ball 62GR NO RESERVE : Rifle Ammunition at GunBroker.com

So all I ever shoot is Federal XM193 or PMC's 223..... How long until this stuff is hard to come by?

Not long based in the way things are going. Also, it seems that stuff like this always stirs up a panic and the price of all .223/556 will probably skyrocket. Sad, but true. ATF are overstepping their boundaries and need to be put in their place, won't happen as long as Barry is in though. Trust that.

Proposed ATF rule change sucks

No documentation of any incidences of armor penetration, yet it "could" be used to this end.


ATF proposes expanding ammo bans using law enforcement protection rationale - National gun rights | Examiner.com


Just snagged me 1k rounds. It's gonna be unavailable and/or back ordered in the near future.

Getcha some . . . . . . quick !

 

[Gordy]

I'm going to wait to do anything until they ban all guns and all ammo, then I'm gonna throw my pen(or keyboard) at someone.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

I'm not packing my bags, but I am writing the ATF.

Until someone brings a lawsuit, OR congress starts impeachment proceedings. Yes.

Comments to the end of what? Are we expected in mass to provide "good reasons" why they shouldn't proceed? Or comments simply stating opposition? Will they supposedly reconsider their position upon receiving XX-million number of "comments"?

Kind of funny how people freak out. I can understand buying up m855, but there will definitely soon be a run on every other .223 and 5.56 loading even though they're not even under scrutiny. Heck, there will probably be another ammo shortage on all calibers.

I think a lot of gun owners just look for something to freak out about.

Sad but true, they can and HAVE done this unless this happens.

There is a small chance it can be undone if the right President enters office as well but rare is the thing lost and returned by the US Government.

The Hillary is going to take our guns campaign is about a year out.

I agree with you there. I've been stocking up on what I can. Didn't have the finances to before the last panic, but I do now. I can't imagine what will happen if she gets elected.

For those interested, UNAmmo has m855 on clips for $470/1000 at the moment. 9000 available.

Glad I never bothered with a 5.56 firearm. Definitely going to write in against the ban though.
