un Control: Fifty-two senators, 238 House members and 80,000 public comments have forced the ATF to pull back for "more study" its proposed ban on ammo for the AR-15, the leading gun for hunting and self-defense.
The Second Amendment, written in the era of muskets, does not mention what arms we have the right to keep and bear.
But we have an idea, based on how they were used: to protect their owners' homes, businesses, farms and families, and to resist the tyranny of government, which during the American Revolution was the British crown.

C'MON, guys ... get out the impeachment papers !
This was foreseeable with the 1994 AWB. And, earlier with NFA and the creation of the ATF.

Enough of the “stern emails,” it is time to de fund the ATF.

Bullet ban lifted? It was never in place, how can something be “lifted” that never was?

I seriously don’t own an AR rifle, but I’m thinking if you do, now would be a good time to go get some pallets of pre-ban ammo.
I’ve been contemplating the purchase of an evil black rifle for a while—More to annoy liberals than for any other reason.
Think I’ll get one chambered in .308, though.
I believe the Founding Fathers meant for the citizenry to be just as armed as the government.
Until 1956, the average American was ALWAYS better armed than a US soldier.
So why don’t these senators do the same for the Internet. Tell the three little dictators no and rescind their rule.
It is called strategic retreat. Progressives NEVER give up a fight. They got caught lying about this ammo ban. They are going back to their smokey rooms to figure out how to ban, not only the ‘green tips,’ but any other ammo that can be used in a handgun that can penetrate a vest. Once they find the Thompson Contenders that shoot every rifle load watch out. It will be a field day.
the citizenry to be just as armed as the government. —
More armed, actually, especially when the govt has 8 arms, like an octopus.

Define "never was" - they were primed for it just as Texas found out that the Obama folks started issuing papers to illegals even though the final law never was.
They will not make the mistake of notification beforehand again - the next ban will be in effect for a week before they make any notifications (or we'll find out as they begin prosecution of the first "offender").
