That right there is why it was so painfully obvious to anyone paying attention that the attempt to ban M855 at this time was purely a politically motivated end around Congress driven by the Executive office to go after the ammunition due to a failed attempt at restrictive AR-15 legislation. The BATFs attempted justification claims for a ban were totally baseless.
At this point it seems they have figured out they can cause a panic by saying something they KNOW isn't going to happen. This causes prices to rise making the hobby more expensive. Eventually even reloading will become too expensive to afford for many of the one time middle class (now destroyed and considered the poor). THAT is the real goal anyway and they don't really have to do more than threaten now. Eventually they want this to become a Rich (like Bill Gates) hobby because they already know they can't cause them any inconvenience.
I think this all part of the plan as well. They are attacking on all fronts and if they can't outright ban something they are going to try and make it as cost prohibitive as possible. It's another form of control.At this point it seems they have figured out they can cause a panic by saying something they KNOW isn't going to happen.

Think back to the 1934 NFA. $200 registration fees were entirely prohibitive. According to the dollartimes.com inflation calculator that's equivalent to over $3500 today. The point of the tax was to be prohibitive to ownership, and that's the same plan they have every time they propose any new registration. Make it too expensive for the average citizen to own.At this point it seems they have figured out they can cause a panic by saying something they KNOW isn't going to happen.
