ATF to reclassify armor piercing ammo
Mali:
One risk we have right now is people see what just happened, breathe a sigh of relief and move on. The ATF is not done and I expect we will have a short period of time then they will make another move on our ammo again.
Vigilance is never a waste of time.

Reminder to keep watch.

1 point for freedom, 0 points for tyranny. Congratulations to all those who did what they could to resist this aggression. Standing together we stopped it. And thanks especially to our senators.
To those who might think my use of the word tyranny is a little overboard I would point out that in today's world tyranny rarely comes rushing at you with a big ugly face holding s sign saying I am a tyrant; it comes instead in a thousand smiley-faced baby steps, every one as apparently mild as this one was. So every one should be treated as the jackboot of a tyrant, even if it does seem small.
As has already been pointed out, it is unlikely that Obama's ATF is through with its mischief. So we must all remember the old saying that eternal watchfulness is the price of freedom.

ATF raises new concerns about AR-15 ammo
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Thursday(3/12/15) raised new concerns about surplus military ammo used in popular AR-15 rifles and pistols just days after pulling back on a proposal to ban the ammo because it could threaten police safety.
In a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, ATF Director B. Todd Jones said all types of the 5.56 military-style ammo used by shooters pose a threat to police as more people buy the AR-15-style pistols.
"Any 5.56 round" is "a challenge for officer safety," he said. Jones asked lawmakers to help in a review of a 1986 bill written to protect police from so-called "cop killer" rounds that largely exempted rifle ammo like the 5.56 because it has been used by target shooters, not criminals.

If "any 5.56" is a challenge for officer safety, what about my .243 or my .45-70?
This is how they will attempt to disarm us all. Tyranny is the correct term for what is happening, and anyone that doesn't see that has their head in the sand.

Did I hear the bell for the next round?
That didn't take long.
