In a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, ATF Director B. Todd Jones said all types of the 5.56 military-style ammo used by shooters pose a threat to police as more people buy the AR-15-style pistols.
“Any 5.56 round” is “a challenge for officer safety,” he said. Jones asked lawmakers to help in a review of a 1986 bill written to protect police from so-called “cop killer” rounds that largely exempted rifle ammo like the 5.56 because it has been used by target shooters, not criminals.Well, there's a surprise, if you have an IQ down in the cold water ranges!
Let me repeat this:
There is ONLY ONE GOAL — COMPLETE CIVILIAN DISARMAMENT! Everything else is smoke and mirrors. We won this round, but we've got 2 more years of basically hand-to-hand combat.

They learn too,Next time it will be in the dark of the night.And in the name of officer safety,no public comment will be sought.Keep your powder dry folks.It's going to be a long ride.
This is my shocked, I tell you SHOCKED, face.....
Michael, it's worse than that. He was urging Congress to give them the power to crack down on all rifle ammunition capable of penetrating common police body armor.
Dems just happen to have a Bill already written to divest Americans of their God Given Right
4,000+ pound automobiles pose even more of a threat to law enforcement officers. Tell the feds to ban cars for a while and we'll see how that goes for a while.

I predict in 2-3 years BHO will sell all his stock in ammo companies and buy Hawaii.
I agree, this is not black and white. The ATF director seems to me to be saying that he wants Congress to modernize the LEOPA act. That sounds to me like the way it should be: Congress makes the laws, not ATF. Seems that he is saying that ATF can't do much on its own. I have no doubt that if he could write the law, he'd ban everything, but I doubt that he expects Congress to do that.
Yet we still have some in the gun community saying Obama is not after our gun rights. Peter Palma of Top Shots was on the Talking Lead podcast arguing that Obama was not after our gun rights. He said this attempt was all by the ATF, and Obama had no part of it. Not sure what his excuse was for the attacks on magazine capacity, and ARs.
All this from someone who owes his current career to firearms and the firearms community.
We do have an amazing string of "deniers" within the Gun Culture! Yes, the White House denies that it had anything to do with the bullet ban...correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Barack Hussein Obama lie every time he opens his mouth? Heck, even the WaPo, as reliable a liberal house organ as exists, give him 3 Pinocchios for lying about handguns and U.S. crime rates at a talk last week.
I doubt that a single appointed department head in this government would fart without written approval from the White House.
