You're mistaken into thinking I'm here to discuss the merits of whether he's right or wrong. That's for another thread. You can leave my under garments out of it.Why does it torque your tidy whities when he's right? Why do you hate freedom?
How long until regular .223/5.56 starts disappearing?
It already has. I was looking at picking up a case of some cheap 223 (Wolf Gold or PMC), but cant find it anywhere in stock, but I know it was in stock the week prior.
No the people who call themselves gun owners and haven't signed should be ashamed. There's millions of them and only 21k signatures.
They have to open it up for public comment. I'm not completely sure but I was "told" that the ATF has to respond to every comment received before they can issue a ruling. Anyone know different?
Many haven't signed it because they know that it has zero legal standing. Heck, there were almost 300,000 votes to deport Justin Bieber, and the White House simply said (paraphrased), "No comment." The White House is not legally obligated to do anything at the 100,000-vote mark other than issue a reply. Nothing more, nothing less.

I just wish this petition was written better, and actually explained why we are against a ban.
That was another issue that I had with the petition -- the fact that the last statement in it is false when it states that this ban was intended for handgun ammunition and not rifle ammunition. The truth is that the ban was for any AP ammo that could be used in a handgun, regardless of whether it was originally designed for a rifle or a handgun. (See pages 2-4 of the link below).
The BATF accepted public comment on this AP ban through December 2012 (see page 7 at link below), so public comment period regarding the passing of the ban has already expired.

Let's not forget that the root of this issue is the fact that M855 does not meet the Federal definition of AP ammo, handguns and rifles aside.
ATF is specifically soliciting comments on how it can best implement withdrawal of this exemption while minimizing disruption to the ammunition and firearm industry and maximizing officer safety.
