See my original statement. The comment period on the ban is over. Comments on the implementation of the ban are being accepted until March 16, 2015.

Yeah, my mistake. I'm afraid letters will be useless at this point... :(

This is what I sent, but I see now it is too late for comment.
Well they got this anyway...
As a hunting enthusiast and firearms sportsman, I am opposed to your seemingly arbitrary proposal to ban certain ammunition which has been already exempted by federal law from the so called “armor piercing” ban.
M855 and ss109 ammo has long been the standard ammo for the modern sporting rifle. Changing this exemption will place an undue burden on the millions of legal gun owners in this country and harm the various manufacturers of said ammunition.
Also the burden on the legitimate consumer, lawful and legal gun owners, will be onerous economically. Prices have already risen as a result of the mere mention of the placing of a ban on this ammunition.
Your own statistics show this ammunition and the types of firearms which use this ammunition are rarely if ever used in crime.
After the removal of the prohibition on many of these types of firearms, your own data indicate crime has actually dropped.
As a citizen of these United States of America, I have a profound love for the constitution and the Bill of Rights of this great country. This is an unfair and unlawful violation of the 2nd Amendment and a gross misapplication of the spirit of the 1968 GCA upon which you are using to base this proposed rule change.
I respectfully ask you to withdraw this proposal and maintain the status quo with regards to this issue.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
DenmanShooter:

I went back a read the proposal gain and am fairly certain MARCH 16 is the valid date for comment. Send those letters.
