Bought 2 of those exact same boxes a month ago for $50 ea.. Nothing like a good ol' ban.
Oops, I thought it was a good deal, but I'm not in the market for it at all so I had no idea. Ooops

How about a compromise? Every round of M855 will be microstamped with a warning: "This round is not to be used in a handgun for the purposes of defeating police body armor"?
Win-win.
Actually ALL ammo could be micro-posted: "Danger: Firearm ammunition can be harmful to children and other living things. Do not use this ammunition in a gun-free zone, to deter would-be rapists or to resolve gang disputes. Violation of this warning will result in a stern warning from the president and lots of hashtag tweets, new laws and regulations."
The talking heads keep focusing on it being able to pierce a vest, but what if they got shot in the face?
Instead of banning green tip, just make sure local cops have the correct level vest to stop rifle... level 4 I think?

This ammo isn't a problem in crimes anyway... just Obama's crimes against us law abiding gun owners...
Level 4 will stop rifle fire. A level 4 vest weighs about 42 pounds if memory serves. Getting in an out of a Crown Vic/Charger/Caprice/Taurus umpteen-zillion times a days? I'm thinking I wouldn't be writing too many tickets. I'm guessing SWAT teams wear level 4 (I wonder why they wear multi cam/OCP, are they in Kabul?? But that's another thread.) but patrol officers and level 2A seems like a good protection/mobility compromise.
I'm glad you agree.It's settled then.
Considering today's decision not to ban green tip, I'll pay about .30 a round. This offer is good for all those who paid .60 cents to a $1 a round during the panic. In box me if interested.
There is a butt load for sale in the classy's right now @ 50 Cents per.
How many law enforcement officers have been shot by M855 ammunition AND/OR an AR pistol?

This ^^^At this point we have to resist the urge to buy it all up as it returns to the marketplace. It will have a higher price for a while now until the vendors realuze they can't sell it at that price and go lower. It won't cost them more than it did so don't pay more than YOU did, please. Otherwise like .22LR, it will be scarce and people will start fillping it for profit. I am not saying this isn't their right, I am saying it is your right not to pay as well. THAT will make any sort of rush and scarcity end fast and things will go back to how they were before all of this hullabaloo.
It is up to everyone, it means naught to me. I just wanted to try and show the way to stopping it before it starts. I am not going to go through a lot of crap to make all of you feel better or to say I am not saying this nor that or I am smarter than others either. Eceot for what I just sad you can take offense as you wish but nonr is meant.
