Basically the BATF&E wants to ban armor piercing ammunition and the NRA is really upset about it because it might change the sales of the AR15 rifle and pistol gunz.

The good thing about this article though is that it offers a link to comment on the ban. The comment period ends March 16.

FWIW, I at one time owned a pistol that fired armor piercing ammunition. It would penetrate a 5 inch oak tree and from the looks of the splinters at the exit site the bullet was still traveling at 700-800 FPS. Enough to penetrate any soft body armor. There is almost no defense against this ammunition. I have since had the gun destroyed as per BATF requirements.

Please comment at the ATF and support a gun control group of your choice any way you can. Call/write you congress critters, write LTTEs and be heard. It makes a difference.
