Judicial Watch on ATF's try to ban 5.56 "green tip"
Video here.
(They should have asked me: I got ATF's administrative record for that move via FOIA a year or two ago. The agency's problem: the green tip's core consists of a steel penetrator followed by a lead slug, and the statute defines armor-piercing ammo as that which has a core "entirely" of forbidden metals, including steel. ATF cited some references that stated a bullet can have multiple cores, and was arguing that green-tip has two cores, and if any part of the core is a forbidden metal, than the bullet is AP. But the statute refers to "core," not "any one of its cores" and uses that in conjunction with "entirely.").

What about the 7n6 ban? Same type of construction and it is less than .22 caliber.
Has anyone done a FOIA on that?
I have 30-06 API for my M1 Garand. You can buy it at any of the websites that sell M1 ammo and parts.
Of course we wouldn't face such garbage if the courts had honestly and validly read the 2nd Amendment and the rest of the Constitution. The federal government has no authority over things. The power is to regulate commerce AMONG the States. One evaluating the commerce clause must first evaluate those whom the grant of power involves. Note that foreign nations are Bodies-politic, i.e. governments. Note also that indian Tribes are Bodies-politic, again governments. Thus States can only be Bodies-politic and the power is to regulate commerce by working with those Bodies-politic, not to control the things or even the vessels of commerce. Further proof lies in the fact that the Framers brought up allowing Congress to "regulate stages on the post roads", a power that was NOT granted. Later the government simply stole the authority to regulate vessels of commerce and as time went by lies were told allowing the government to take over manufacturing (Doctrine of the stream of commerce) and finally the things in commerce themselves.
The 2nd Amendment allows no regulation of Arms, esp by the federal government. None at all. The Constitution grants limited police powers to the federal government. Those powers are enumerated. No unenumerated powers exist. The claims that implied or otherwise unwritten powers are available for the feds to exercise are lies. States retained police powers but those powers do not include banning things. States too must abide by the Constitution and if it were not FOR the Courts we would have more freedom, restricted only by lawful means and only to such actions as endanger others.
