Pretty hilarious!

Guided by comments to the previous post (thanks!) I find that BATF just posted online a notice that its removal of M855 ammo from the exemption for AP ammo is a mistake. Sounds like the decision was made to remove M855, while allowing a sham comment period, and whichever team compiles the annual list of published ordinances was told about the decision but not told "but, 'officially,' this decision hasn't been made yet, so don't let it out."

Those responsible are probably down on their knees thanking the Almighty that this happened in early March. (Federal agencies do job evaluations after the end of the fiscal year, end of September. If you foul up in winter or early spring, you can hope that your supervisors forget about it by then. A disaster in September is a REAL disaster!)

I'm not a lawyer, but do you really think that Obama and the ATF&E office who is responsible for the "Fast & Furious" illegal firearms transfers to Mexican drug cartels that killed two US border patrol officers and over 400 Mexican citizens. Or when a Federal Judge Accuses DOJ Attorneys of defrauding the court, threatening witness in the case of ATF whistle blower Jay Dobyns, really gives a rat's ass what we think about what they want to do?

While they rescinded the "printing error" the framework proposal is still out there and I believe they are still going to ban M855.

If M855 is exempt from the ban because it is primarily a rifle round, then why is 7.62 AP ammo banned?

Someone should submit a FOIA request for all emails discussing M855, green tip, or 5.56 during the 72 hour period following the discovery of the regulation "omission".
