Guys....have you actually read the ATF article.... Page 1? It clearly states this is only for Handguns.
It is important to note that only projectiles that meet thestatutory definition of “armor piercing” – i.e., those made out of the specific listed materials thatmay be used in a handgun – are subject to the statutory restrictions. As a result, manufacturersare, and will continue to be, free to manufacture projectiles from non-restricted materials,completely independent of the application of this framework or any exemptionsThis looks more aimed at 5.7x28 since they have been wanting to go after that for years and since it is actual handgun ammo.[L]et me make clear what this bill does not do. Our legislation would not limit the availability of standard rifle ammunition with armor-piercing capability. We recognizethat soft body armor is not intended to stop high powered rifle cartridges. Time andagain Congressman Biaggi and I have stressed that only bullets capable of penetratingbody armor and designed to be fired from a handgun would be banned; rifle ammunitionwould not be covered.
Ummm still bad but wrong ammo. Somebody is trying to start another
Looks like it might be working

Have you actually read the article, pages 14/15 might be of particular interest...

I myself as ammo could care less. I do have a few bullets put away to load should I need to but it will just get put away like the .308 AP rounds. Just my take on it.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
Ya, Page 15 is the capper but it makes no sense since the law clearly states handguns. AR15 pistols are not handguns (they even acknowledge this in the paper), concealable, not being used in mass cops shooting and have always been recognized as such. They are looking for comments and as 41P has shown we can change things. With an R Congress and threat of 2016 gun owner uprising (that has swung previous elections) I think this will be put off until after 2016 if there is enough push back.

+1 on "could care less". I can make the same hole in everything I would care to aim at with PMC 223, and that ammo is top quality.
Obviously the correct term is "couldn't", if you wish to be the grammar Nazi. I was simply quoting the original post by jerrymrc.
