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:
Thank God there is someone who has the good sense to TRY limit military killing weapons. By the way, Obama has issued fewer executive orders than most REPUBLICAN presidents! True. Check it out!
I agree 100% Luke
So by what you people are saying every executive order ordered by every president is illegal????
No, not at all. There are presently and in our past history hundreds of examples of legitimate executive order. Making the laws of the country and/or any changes to the body of the Constitution, however, is clearly in the province of our elected Congressmen, and Senators in the House and Senate.
Second amendment crybabies, more people have to die to make you happy. You might have to wait a few days to get your next weapon with which to kill your brother.
Doesnt really matter, he will be gone in a year and the next president will be a republican. I’m gonna ignore any executive order on guns anyway. Will probably buy a few more guns in obama honor, maybe a mini -14 or an AR chambered in 22-250. There are plenty of good rifles in plenty of calibers.
You’re right about That making a law to stop The Mentally challenged Who should Not own a gun Like some of these nutters on here Is the right thing to do Getting Them help is the right Thing to Do Closing illegal Loop holes That allow Criminals to Buy guns Legally Is The right Thing to Do$#%&!@*Clown Can’t Deal with it too Bad
What’s that smell, oh… yeah. It’s b******t!
The specific bullet that was talked about is not the only bullet available for the AR-15. The Green Tips are armor piercing rounds and the only reason they were considered for a ban was because gun manufacturers have recently been making pistols to fire armor piercing rounds. Fret not, you’d still be able to get ammunition for your AR-15’s if this had gone through.
IT IS OBAMA’S INTENT TO DO NOTHING THAT HELPS OUR NATION
Hey Gene: Stick your bible up your$#%&!@* You savage animal.
