Yes, it is ... for comment on implementation of removal of the ammunition from the civilian market. Arguably, I guess you could say that this is the real teeth of the "ban" (rescinding of the exemption).

ATF under the most anti-freedom and anti-American president in history will not concern itself with anything patriots have to say about this illegal edict of theirs. They know the truth and they knew it all along; they know that what they do is illegal and based in lies. Sending those traitors a letter is like sending a letter to ISIS asking them to please stop beheading Christians.
I sent an email to Senators Fischer and Sasse, and my Congressman Jeff Fortenberry, asking them to do anything they could to stop this act of criminal aggression being committed by Obama's ATF, and nicely reminding them that the voters did not give Republicans control of both houses of Congress because we wanted them to let Obama and his team of traitors continue breaking the law.
I don't know what Congress might be able to do but I assume it has some kind of oversight authority, and can bring bureaucrats in before a committee, and of course funding can be cut off. If enough patriots remind their representatives of how important these illegal gun control edicts are to us maybe the Republicans will take a stand and do something. We should remind them of anti-gun politicians like McCain and Romney who will go down in history as big losers, partly because they did not stand up for our Second Amendment rights. An email to the RNC might be a good idea too.
The letter posted by Denman Shooter includes very good talking points that I would include.

I have seen many good reasons put forth to recommend that the ATF not reclassify M855, one I have not seen
is the reduced muzzle velocity of the round when fired from a pistol length barrel, making it less effective for its intended purpose.
Just a thought.

That's a good one. It would be interesting to see the results of some tests demonstrating the reduction in penetration capacity with the reduced muzzle velocity.

I haven't been following this issue very closely. The problem is that M855 can be fired from pistols? I don't understand.
