A week after the Obama administration backed away from a controversial proposal to ban certain types of AR-15 ammo, several Democratic lawmakers have responded with several bills to ban or limit the use of so-called armor-piercing bullets.

"Armor-piercing rounds like green tips should only be in the hands of military personnel or police officers, period. There is absolutely no compelling argument to be made for anyone else to have access to them," Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel said in a statement issued two days after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) withdrew its own proposed ban.

After receiving more than 80,000 comments from the public concerning its proposed ban of the 5.56 M855 "light green tip" bullet, which is widely popular among sportsmen and AR-15 rifle shooters, the ATF issued a statement backing away from the proposal.

Special: Does Obama Belong to This Secret Society? (Shocking)

Noting that the "vast majority" of the public input received was critical and that comments raised several issues meriting "further study," the ATF said it "will not at this time seek to issue a final framework," according to the March 10 statement.

Almost immediately, Engel introduced The Armor Piercing Bullets (APB) Act, which would restrict the sale of small caliber, "green tip" bullets commonly used in AR-15 semi-automatic weapons. Engel said his bill would enact the ATF rules through legislation and would eliminate any concern about the administrative proce

• Good and evil. Right and wrong.Those are two fundamental opposing concepts that define the nature of humankind.
  But for the gun-ban crowd, each and every one of them—when it comes to private ownership of firearms and armed self-defense, the very heart of the Second Amendment—there is no such conflict. In their lexicon, firearms in the hands of private citizens are inherently evil.
  These zealots for disarming individual Americans choose not to recognize the basic notion that defines American freedom: the difference between a good guy with a gun and a bad guy with a gun.

City Of Chicago Ordered To Pay NRA’s Legal Fees – Again

Fairfax, Va. – The United States District Court in the Northern District of Illinois has ordered the City of Chicago to reimburse $940,000 in legal expenses incurred by the NRA. The NRA had challenged Chicago’s ban on gun sales within city limits in Benson v. City of Chicago. The Benson case was consolidated into Illinois Association of Firearm Retailers v. City of Chicago and that case challenged five aspects of Chicago’s law: (1) the ban on any form of carriage; (2) the ban on gun stores; (3) the ban on firing ranges; (4) the ban on self-defense in garages, porches, and yards; and (5) the ban on keeping more than one gun in an operable state.

This is the second time that the City of Chicago has been ordered to reimburse legal fees in a suit sponsored by the NRA. The first was following the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago in which Chicago was ordered to reimburse the NRA more than $600,000.

NRA seeks universal gun law at national meeting

Posted: Apr 24, 2014 11:44 AM CDTUpdated: Apr 24, 2014 12:44 PM CDTBy CHARLES D. WILSON

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - With concealed weapons now legal in all 50 states, the National Rifle Association's focus at this week's annual meeting is less about enacting additional state protections than on making sure the permits already issued still apply when the gun owners travel across the country.

The nation's largest gun-rights group, which officially opens its meeting of about 70,000 people Friday in Indianapolis, wants Congress to require that concealed weapons permits issued in one state be recognized everywhere, even when the local requirements differ. Advocates say the effort would eliminate a patchwork of state-specific regulations that lead to carriers unwittingly violating the law when traveling.

"Right now it takes some legal research to find out where you are or are not legal depending on where you are," said Guy Relford, an attorney who has sued communities for violating an Indiana law that bars local gun regulation. "I don't think that's right."

Opponents fear the measure would allow more lenient gun regulations to trump stricter ones when permit holders travel across state lines.
