President Obama’s drive to ban a popular form of ammunition used in the AR-15 and other rifles is drawing new fire from conservative groups representing gun owners as well as members of Congress.

I believe it is simple market manipulation. The m855 was replaced with the m855a1(new lead free green round). What to do with the surplus overrun? Propose an 855 ban, panic ensues, they let the product trickle into the market as prices climb.
Been a Matthews and Bear shooter for years. Got my first bow at age 6. I feel you.

Baby steps? All high velocity fmj scoots thru soft armor. If its soft AP from pistols there after, then all 5.56 is on the block, but we know what they want;)
Your assessment is correct. I still haven't seen the data on how many LEO have been killed with 62 gr Nato Ball from AR pistols. Something tells me we will be still waiting for that long after they find Hoffa. Incremental is the way to go for Tyrants.
