House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte charged that Barack Obama was using his ‘pen and phone’ to gut the second amendment via an ammo ban that the Congressman vowed to challenge with lawsuits and defunding if necessary.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) has announced that it intends to prohibit the sale of steel-tipped 5.56-millimeter ammunition, traditionally used in AR-15 assault rifles by sports shooters, in the name of protecting law enforcement officers from “the threat posed by ammunition capable of penetrating a protective vest.”
However, critics assert that the move is an underhanded ploy on behalf of the Obama administration to bypass Congress and achieve a de facto AR-15 gun ban.
“The president has tried to ban this rifle, but Congress has refused,” Goodlatte told Fox News, adding, “Now it appears he’s taking his pen and cell phone and, through the ATF, is trying to ban the second most popular ammunition that is used in that rifle.”
Pointing out that such ammo hasn’t been used to target law enforcement officers for a decade, Goodlatte said that the proposed ban would violate the Administrative Procedures Act.
