M855 Ban - AK Operators Union Take on it!!!

This video serves as a call to action for Americans to contact the ATF regarding a proposed ban on M855 and SS109 'green tip' 5.56 ammunition. The ATF's rationale is that this ammunition is armor-piercing and poses a danger to law enforcement when fired from AR pistols. The speaker argues this ammunition is primarily used for hunting and sporting, and the ban would infringe upon Second Amendment rights without enhancing officer safety. The video encourages viewers to submit emails, mail, or faxes to the ATF by March 16th, providing a sample letter for reference.

The discussion highlights the political motivations behind the proposed ban and the legislative efforts to counter it.

The ATF has temporarily shelved its proposal to ban M855 and SS109 ammunition, citing over 880,000 public comments received.
