ATF sued over plan to ban popular AR-15 ammo – Leo hohman April 12 2017
A government watchdog agency has filed a federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives seeking records related to a proposed rule change that would ban certain types of AR-15 ammunition.
The ATF backed off its February 2015 proposal to revise regulatory rules by reclassifying the so-called “green tip” ammunition for the AR-15, which is manufactured as both a rifle and a handgun. These rules of enforcement fall under the Gun Control Act of 1968.
If reclassified as proposed in February 2015, the green-tip rounds would be considered “armor piercing” and, therefore, illegal.
In March 2015, more than 200 members of Congress wrote to former ATF director Todd Jones expressing “serious concern” that the proposal might violate the Second Amendment by restricting ammunition that had been primarily used for target shooting, hunting and other “sporting purposes.”
President Trump campaigned on a strong platform of gun rights. To date, the ATF has shown no interest in renewing the push to ban the .223 “green-tip” ammo.
