IMHO, Dear Leader doesn’t know his gluteous maximus from a cork pistol. He wouldn’t know .223 ammo from a nerf ball. These 2A curtailments are being fed to him by 2A haters around him, and he’s only too happy to rubber stamp them. In any event, the destruction of our Nation continues apace.

Certain types of ammo will soon be traded like money.

“By way of background, federal law imposed in 1986 prohibits the manufacture, importation, and sale by licensed manufacturers or importers, but not possession, of “a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely . . . from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium.” “

IOW restrictions enacted/imposed during the Reagan administration.

From 18 U.S. Code § 921 - Definitions:

(17)
(A) The term “ammunition” means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellent powder designed for use in any firearm.
(B) The term “armor piercing ammunition” means—
(i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or
(ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.
(C) The term “armor piercing ammunition” does not include shotgun shot required by Federal or State environmental or game regulations for hunting purposes, a frangible projectile designed for target shooting, a projectile which the Attorney General finds is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, or any other projectile or projectile core which the Attorney General finds is intended to be used for industrial purposes, including a charge used in an oil and gas well perforating device.

Is someone making a handgun that uses this ammunition?

Good point, I REALLY want to dismantle “Obama’s America”, can we leave this horrid chapter behind with an actual Pro-Constitution, Pro-American President?

It would be interesting to know how many ATF agents have FFL’s. I’m guessing more than a few.

If Congress funds an agency that is allowed to trample
Constitutionally protected rights, they are an accessory
and the regulations issued emanate from Congress via that
financial support. Defund the agency.

If the BATF angers enough people, they may get a real slap-down. A lot of conservative congressmen and senators are already not happy with Fast and Furious.

It may have to wait for the next president, but it could still happen.

There are AR-15/AK-47 type handguns and single shots like the TC Contender can be chambered for almost any cartridge.

That’s just another law which will need to be repealed on the next inauguration day.

Day 1.
