“[Obama] wants to take guns out of everybody’s hands and if he can’t do that, he’s going to take the bullets that go in the guns out of everybody’s hands.” ~ RLIt begins...
Which firearm will be next on his list?WashingtonExaminer: As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.
This administration tests (and exceeds) its limits daily, and we're stuck never knowing which liberty it'll attack next. With the rapid ramp up of lawlessness and tyranny, it's no wonder they're seeking any means of disarmament as they incessantly assault the civility of our society.
If they can't take your rifle, they'll take the bullets for it. Quells your future resolve, don't ya see.

Obama Goes for the Guns
UPDATE: Excuses as justification...despite the fact that the NRA says there is no evidence that these type of bullets have ever been fired at an officer!
WashingtonTimes: The White House said Monday that President Obama believes a ban on bullets commonly used with the AR-15 rifle will save police officers’ lives.
“We are looking at additional ways to protect our brave men and women in law enforcement, and believe that this process is valuable for that reason alone,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is accepting public comment on an administration proposal to ban .223 M855 “green tip” ammunition most often used with AR-15 rifles. House lawmakers from both parties, as well as sportsmen and some law enforcement officials, are objecting the move.
Mr. Earnest called it a “common-sense step.”
“The president has long believed that there are some common-sense steps that we can take … to ensure that we’re protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans while also taking some common-sense steps to prevent people who shouldn’t have guns from getting them,” he said.
