I was about to post it on Facebook to help out.

Then I watched it.

The errors are...prolific. I couldn’t watch all of it (well, went back and forced myself to), as it was spewing misinformation/ignorance so fast.

1. M855 has a steel TIP, not CORE.
1a. BATFE is straining the point by construing “tip” as “core”.
2. The legal definition of “armor piercing” has NOTHING to do with ability to pierce armor, but has EVERYTHING to do with what the CORE is made of and whether handguns using the ammo exist.
3. AR15 pistols DO exist. They’re big, but they’re short barreled with no stock, therefore are legally “pistols”.

After making massive errors about these key points, the video then devolves into rank absurdity ... and then finishes with an advertising plug.

So...between the gross misinformation it promotes I won’t support it, and the straightforward violation of FB terms of service they’re not going to let you promote it via advertising.

Good effort, but badly misguided.

The video was an attempt to promote our target company by using a hot button issue. I didn’t want to get too far into the “weeds” with specific information about projectile construction. Dumbing down and showing the absurdity of the issue as a whole was the point. Bottom line is nearly all rifle rounds will penetrate soft body armor. The ATF is trying to use the 1986 law prohibiting certain types of projectile usage in handguns - a small and easily concealed weapon that can be used to attack a law enforcement officer (an AR Pistol isn’t small and concealable - I know because I’ve shot one several times). Creating a video for non-gun guys can be tricky because you don’t want to turn it into a dissertation. Thanks for at least looking at it.
