The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has issued an apology for angering Americans by claiming there is already a ban in place on AR-15 “green tip” ammo.
The claim was made in an online regulations guide posted in January. The guide failed to list .223-caliber M855 ammo as currently exempted from a ban on armor piercing ammunition.
The omission made it appear that a ban was effectively already in place and that PresidentObama’s proposal to issue an executive order on the matter was merely a formality.
Calling the claim a “publishing error,” the ATF claims it “has not rescinded any armor piercing ammunition exemption, and the fact they are not listed in the 2014 online edition of the regulations was an error which has no legal impact.”
“ATF apologizes for any confusion caused.” the agency added in a statement.
