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:
they said if he did any exec order on guns we could impeach him lets do it
how about a New Years Eve, Impeachment.?
He is passing laws against our constitution without the congress passing the law which is a act of treason
why is he still in office
Hypocrisy
Spare me, who cares. There are a lot more powerful 5.56 ammo out there than the ss109 projectile. That is 4 generations back. Let’s be real, when Donald is prez, these fiat orders go the way of the buggy whip.
too little too late…. ‘x’m855 are not subject to the ban, just M855, if this article is true at all.
Disgusting.
time for congress to grow a pair and put a stop to this
The home invader or bank robber has an AK-47. You have an AR-15 but no bullets. Good luck.
