M855 Ammo Ban - Done Deal? See Article

[Hermit]

That's funny!
After they succeed in clearing the shelves they say, "Uhh, nevermind."
The World's greatest gun/ammo salesman strikes again.

I've never used it, but I guess I'll start shooting it to try it out. I've never found it to be a better deal than the 55gr 5.56, maybe I've not been paying good attention

I was referring to people not looking at the rights issue & gun control issue. I am not saying M855 is good or bad. Substitute .50 cal, .22lr or whatever in place of M855 because that may be next.

As Gator has in his post: "at this time." because we will be seeing this play out over and over.

Good to hear. Thanks to all the patrons that pushed back. A battle victory feels good. Good lesson for us; STAND UP & SPEAK UP. Way to go guys.

Sometimes I really want to get onto the ammo selling business. Seems like the past few years have been awesome for ammo sales.

Need to find a big warehouse, and hope radical democrats keep getting elected.

The US Supreme Court issued an opinion yesterday, Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association that reverses a nearly two decade old ruling from the DC Circuit that required administrative agencies go through the notice and comment process BATFE was using with this ban. The Perez case stands for the premise that interpretations of administrative rules do not have to go through the notice and comment process and can simply be issued. Don't count this ban out yet.

Current events... I try not to read into them too much. I've considered that all this back and forth is just rhetoric to throw the public off for a minute. Maybe the buying will slow and all the current stock won't wind up "on the street" before they up and decide that it is forever banned. Whatever the case, 855 is almost exclusively what I've bought for my ARs over the past 20+ years because I do find it to be more accurate in my ARs which are all barreled with 1:7 or 1:8 twist rates. But the bulk of what I currently shoot cost me 16 cents per round years ago, when it was actually cheaper than 193.
It's a personal choice I guess. I have done my best to fight for the right to continue to buy and own it, as I will do with every liberty we have left.

I wouldn't at all say the language in the article suggests a "halt", but they heard us.

The legality of that round has always been "for now." In a few days or weeks, those of us who did not panic buy can stock up for as little as .33 a round(ZQ1 30 round box for 9.97 at Walmart.)

We need to make the 80,000 contacts, 800,000 next time.

It will not matter as the next time will not include a comment period.
