BATFE To Ban Common AR-15 Ammo - XM 855 green tips

[Dmacri25]

"PMC X-TAC 62 grain m855 ss109 steel core armor piercing ammo. Soon to be banned. Selling it for what I paid for it during the panic. 5000 rounds available at $1.00 per round"

If you paid a $1 for 5.56 you're an idiot.

I wonder if components will be banned as well? A lot of us press our own as it is.

Petition is at over 40,000 signatures already!

Keep at it

I see they are OFFERING for $1 a round, but I don't see them SELLING for $1 a round

Just like the BATF is proposing a ban, not putting one in effect as the thread title implies....

The white house petition is kicking some ass. Sign it if you haven't already

I don't know if it's 'kicking ass'. One estimate of gun ownership in the U.S. is 35-45 million households. A lot more than 45,000 signatures would likely be needed to sway the bureaucrats. My concern is where the hell are all these other people and their signatures?

Ironically, I bet a lot of these signatures are coming from Maryland, California, New York, etc. Not only due to larger populations, but due to 2A activism in the states. If you're on the front lines in these battles, you're more accustomed to making an effort to participate in such efforts, making trips to the state capital, etc because you know a loss of rights is all too real.

I would hope some popular YouTube channels, Hickok45, FPSRussia, etc bring attention to the WH petition. Their subscriber bases are huge (although will include children and non citizens) so could have an impact. Note there are still people on a daily basis at MDS that are discovering the news about the potential ban. It's relatively new information. If you search Google News, it's not been broadly reported. Once the WH brags about the ban, after the fact, it will be.

Do WH petitions even DO anything? I've always felt it's a feel good website...

I thought a 100,000 vote threshold triggers a response from them. The same double talk no doubt, but at least the media starts covering the issue more at this point.

signed on dotted line will they now send MRAPS and shoot the dog ?

There could be five million signatures and the ATF will do what they want.

The White House won't lift a finger regarding anything related to firearms and ammunition. At least not in support of the aforementioned items.

If you're starting a Unicorn ranch and the Unicorns are startled by the sounds of the M855 rounds going bang, then the WH will look into it.

Don't look now...

Look out your front window; see any ninjas with suppressed MP5's? If so, it ain't the home owners association.

As far as those petitions go, yes it is kicking ass. 40k signatures in 4 days is a lot for that site.

slickguns.com posts a link to it every so many posts and I've seen the link on the gun feed.

I wasn't even speaking in regards to this petition, but the system as a whole.

Of course the ATF will do what they want, that's what overreach is.

It is not kicking ass. They are not counting your votes on that petition. If you don't believe me sign it with a different name and email and see if your vote gets counted. It won't! For every 1000 users they are maybe counting 1 or 2 votes. You are better slamming them with emails, letters, faxes & phone calls! This is not the time to sit on the sidelines everyone should get involved in this fight!

Wideners has IMI 855 in stock. Is credit card usage on their site still an issue?

Tom Gresham sent out a Twitter thing to his 20k followers today, I dont twitter for what its worth.

 

[Immersion]

Signed and posted the link to social media. I'll be damned if we let them win this.

Only if the petition fits the dear leader's plans...then the occupier can point to 'popular support.'

Otherwise, figure signing a petition himself doesn't like gets your name on (another) watch list...

Midway has a Swedish production of M855 ...

Both are pretty pricey though.

In what way?

I ordered 1200 rounds, and they route to a 3rd party site to process the credit card.

Seemed to go through fine.
