This looks more aimed at 5.7x28 since they have been wanting to go after that for years and since it is actual handgun ammo.

Ummm still bad but wrong ammo. Somebody is trying to start another

Looks like it might be working
The spirit of the original law passed by Congress back in the day was that this only applied to ammo originally designed for and manufactured as a handgun cartridge. The BATF has twisted the law to apply to any ammo that can be fired from a "handgun" regardless of the original manufactured intent of the ammo in question. Under the wording of the original law none of this ammo including the 7.62x39, 5.45x39 that has been banned would have ever been included. Now that people make handgun versions of AKs and ARs the BATF has decided on their own authority to twist the law to proclaim that these rifle cartridges are now handgun cartridges.
