Ammo scare....

[none]

Anyone care to pontificate on the next potential sky to fall? :popcorn:

9mm perfecta no longer being available for less than $7.00 a box?

Honestly, I believe that the 'green tip' ban is a way for the ATF to put out feelers.  If banning that ammo succeeds, they will start looking to ban any and all ammo that could, potentially penetrate soft body armor.  Of course, given the 'right' circumstances and testing protocols their results could likely include at least some varieties of pretty much every medium to high powered rifle ammo and likely some handgun ammo, as well.  It won't matter if such ammo has ever actually been used to shoot a cop and defeated body armor or not.  As I mentioned in another thread, I seem to remember the late and not lamented Teddy Kennedy pushing to get some varieties of 30-30 ammo banned because they could defeat soft body armor.  Think about that - a firearm, usually a lever action rifle, that is likely viewed by most non-gunners as one of the most 'benign' of the deer rifles and some jackhole has already tried banning at least some varieties of ammo it uses.

 

 I think we should be real quite about the fact that a .50 BMG "might" penetrate body armor.  :whistle:
