WE cannot depend on ANY politician having our best interest. I'll be penning a HEY dude letter to Cory tomorrow. Expressing my / our dismay regarding his sending canned letters to people who put him in office, based on his views. Informing him IF i / we wanted canned , prepackaged responses we'd be dealing with Democrats & liberals who did not care about us or the Constitution.
Sincerely , Howard Beale

Perhaps the NRA has to be vague.. From what I've gathered on a few gunboards is that "M855 isn't accurate, sucks, I'd never buy it so who cares anyway".

At the bare minimum this will only make our sport more expensive as a large source of ammo will be off the market. The gov nor the commercial production market will never step in to fill this loss and existing ammo will only become more expensive and harder to find.

In reality as lead ammo begins to be regulated more and more for hunting and other purposes more ammo will be produced using various mixes of metals of which the ATF will continue on reclassifying as ammo piercing. If this isn't stopped now our future looks pretty bleak.

And Gardners response seems like a typical Republican response. Keep voting R and hoping someone will actually care.

"None of them give a shit". Hey, they are Politicians - what more can we expect.

They give a shit about SOMETHING... letters from random people they are supposed to represent is NOT one of them.
There are some exceptions- I get the impression Sen. Holbert does... but he's an extreme minority.

So what gets Gardner excited... everyone has their "price"... like Joe Salazar likes young boys, right?

Same reply I got.

Doesn't he know we fired the guy he replaced for these shenanigans?

I wrote Scott Tipton about my concern last week and listed "Second Amendment" as the topic. I got a semi politically correct/expedient reply having to do with the Second Amendment and the need to protect Colorado's children. Just for fun I sent basically the same letter back. after thanking him for the reply, but made up a topic having to do with protecting our Constitutional rights. Still waiting for that reply.... I think I'll do the same for the honorable Senator Gardner.

Lol why is everyone panicking and paying so much for M855? Are you worried that you won't be able to shoot through walls? I'm sure any FMJ .223 bullet will do just fine... Still worried about not penetrating a barrier? Get a .30-06.

hell, even 300 Blackout will only require a barrel change and will be more barrier-blind than ANY 5.56 round... .458 socom even more so... if you're willing to move up to AR-10/lr308 platform 45Raptor is damn impressive... but even .308 is pretty barrier-blind

because m855 is NOT ARMOR PIERCING!!!! it is a "penetrator" round... somewhere between total crap and somewhat crap at penetrating barriers.

But this isn't about logic, science, truth, or even theory.. it's about politics and disarming people
