This ammo ban is a hoax.
Please explain.
No one is pushing to ban any ammo. They know it cant happen. Its a distraction they simply tossed out there to make the masses look the other way while they push the NPTA through. And its working....
If your theory is correct, it must be working because I don't know what NPTA is...
Also refereed to as the Trans Pacific Partnership. It's a bad bad deal.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a disastrous trade agreement designed to protect the interests of the largest
multi-national corporations at the expense of workers, consumers, the environment and the foundations of
American democracy. It will also negatively impact some of the poorest people in the world.
The TPP is a treaty that has been written behind closed doors by the corporate world. Incredibly, while Wall
Street, the pharmaceutical industry and major media companies have full knowledge as to what is in this treaty,
the American people and members of Congress do not. They have been locked out of the process.
Further, all Americans, regardless of political ideology, should be opposed to the “fast track” process which
would deny Congress the right to amend the treaty and represent their constituents’ interests.
The TPP follows in the footsteps of other unfettered free trade agreements like NAFTA, CAFTA and the
Permanent Normalized Trade Agreement with China (PNTR). These treaties have forced American workers to
compete against desperate and low-wage labor around the world. The result has been massive job losses in the
United States and the shutting down of tens of thousands of factories. These corporately backed trade
agreements have significantly contributed to the race to the bottom, the collapse of the American middle class
and increased wealth and income inequality. The TPP is more of the same, but even worse.
During my 23 years in Congress, I helped lead the fight against NAFTA and PNTR with China. During the
coming session of Congress, I will be working with organized labor, environmentalists, religious organizations,
Democrats, and Republicans against the secretive TPP trade deal.
Let’s be clear: the TPP is much more than a “free trade” agreement. It is part of a global race to the bottom to
boost the profits of large corporations and Wall Street by outsourcing jobs; undercutting worker rights;
dismantling labor, environmental, health, food safety and financial laws; and allowing corporations to challenge
our laws in international tribunals rather than our own court system. If TPP was such a good deal for America,
the administration should have the courage to show the American people exactly what is in this deal, instead of
keeping the content of the TPP a secret.
10 Ways that TPP would hurt Working Families
1. TPP will allow corporations to outsource even more jobs overseas.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, if the TPP is agreed to, the U.S. will lose more than
130,000 jobs to Vietnam and Japan alone. But that is just the tip of the iceberg.
· Service Sector Jobs will be lost. At a time when corporations have already outsourced over 3
million service sector jobs in the U.S., TPP includes rules that will make it even easier for
corporate America to outsource call centers; computer programming; engineering; accounting;
and medical diagnostic jobs.
· Manufacturing jobs will be lost. As a result of NAFTA, the U.S. lost nearly 700,000 jobs. As
a result of Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China, the U.S. lost over 2.7 million jobs. As
a result of the Korea Free Trade Agreement, the U.S. has lost 70,000 jobs. The TPP would make
matters worse by providing special benefits to firms that offshore jobs and by reducing the risks
associated with operating in low-wage countries.

If it was true that they are using the possible M855 ban as a distraction from this trade agreement, then they are using a very poor tactic. Those of us who care about our rights as gun owners are a very small minority, therefore they would not be distracting very many people from this agreement.
Gun owners are NOT a small minority, lol. In fact we are a quite large majority. About 75 per 100 people per capita in the US own guns. Thats nearly 300,000,000 citizens that own a gun.
Gun owners are also a group of people who seem to keep an eye on Government meddling's in general. So we need distracting. The rest of the sheep just dont care.
Rest assured, this will go away soon just as quickly as it came up.
BIG difference between a gun owner and a gun owner who gives a ****...Not trying to argue with you Im just saying some people don't pay any attention. For example my Grandmother and Mother are gun owners, do they keep up with what ammo is banned, whether or not you can shoulder a pistol, or if you can import this gun or this ammo? No, they don't and I would think that only about 5 out of those "75 per 100 people per capita in the US" that own guns give a **** about these things.
