While public backlash is building over a proposed ban on green-tipped M855 ammunition for modern sport-utility rifles, people are buying all the ammunition they can, KNOP News reported yesterday, while more than 100 members of Congress have signed a letter headed this week to the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
UPDATE: As of late Friday, there were 172 signatures on the letter, and more are being added today, according to a reliable industry source. A draft of the letter may be read here.
The letter was discussed last Friday by Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) on Fox News. An accompanying story from Fox quoted Alan Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, who accurately noted, “Almost any hunting rifle bullet will go through body armor, so you could prohibit almost any rifle bullet with this. This is the administration redefining the law on its own.”
