I'm told some never go down to The Pit - here's a news story I feel
must be in front of everyone.

EXCLUSIVE: Common AR-15 Green Tip Ammunition Already Banned in New ATF Regulation Guide
Katie Pavlich | Mar 06, 2015
....
A review of the timeline:
January 2015:
ATF published a new, 2015 OMB approved Regulation Guide already showing the stripping AR-15 "green-tip" from its armor piercing exemption list.
February 2015:
ATF proposes the ban (which they've already put in place through their handbook published in January) on AR-15 "green-tip" ammunition and opens up a comment period.
March 16, 2015:
The public comment period closes about the proposed/already implemented ban on AR-15 "green-tip" ammunition, ATF ignores tens-of-thousands of comments because they were never going to consider them in the first place, and continues with the regulations outlined in the new 2015 Regulation Guide. (Which was written in 2014!)
ATF changed the law unilaterally, didn't tell anyone about it and has now put up a bogus comment period that means nothing. Because of these actions, ATF and the White House have not only failed to follow the Administrative Procedure Act, but has gone around Congress to violate the Second Amendment rights of Americans.
So, what' next? ATF is going to have to explain why the change was made under the radar and will also have to explain what this means for people in possession of "green-tip" ammunition after January 2015 when the new ATF Regulation Guide was published with the exemption missing. Is there no grandfathering period for possession? When will manufactures be forced to stop producing? What does this mean for buyers and sellers? States are also going to have to find a way to implement these regulations and define compliance under separate state ammunition possession laws.
Editor's note: The timeline listed above mistakenly said 2014 for all three dates. It has been corrected to 2015.
Please think about this information.
