Like most of this "most transparent administration", contentions this is another multilevel lie. BATF has yet to produce statistics/data substantiating the M855 "threat" to police body armor. It doesn't meet the USDOD or NATO definition of "armor piercing" construction. Nor are any of the 5.56mm "pistols" actions significantly "smaller" than their rifle counterparts due to mechanical limitations. But there is an undesirable impact from this proposed ban.
It would negatively impact the training programs of the nation's Police Departments (now armed with AR-type "assault weapons" by this administration) that purchase their training ammo in the same market as civilians. An "unintended consequence" ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
