If any doubt remained, Obama’s ammo-ban through executive order should make it clear: he will not let little details like the Second Amendment to the Constitution stand in the way of his attempts to ban access to guns for ordinary, law-abiding Americans. This Executive Action effectively banned ammunition for the top-selling AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle and labeled the particular ammo as ‘cop killers’.
No doubt expecting resistance to the unilateral order the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives aimed to put the ban of 5.56mm ‘green tip’ ammo on a fast-track. News of the ban drove a massive increase in demand for the ammunition, up to 1,000% of what it was prior to the Executive Order. Prices jumped in reaction, by up to 30% in response to the sudden demand and dwindling stocks.
What is even more worrisome is how President Obama characterized legal firearms and ammunition owners and suppliers. View the video report on the next page:
Congress won’t do anything so he has to govern with executive orders, something every president does.
The M855 doesn’t meet the criteria of an armor piercing round under the NFA of 1934 and other USC’s. An executive order with no law to be enforced. Most people I know don’t realize that an executive order of this type has no ‘weight’ if there is no law for the order to enforce. The Oval Office is the executive branch of our government not the legislative branch!

The only thing “f**e”, Mike Trusley, is that despicable, photoshopped picture you’re using of victims of the Holocaust that demonstrates clearly who the real nut is! Scumbags like you will sink to any level to push your asinine conspiracy theories and support for the Marxist mongrel-in- charge.
Sorry but the pen (executive orders) has no official weight outside of the government.
