The president’s 9mm claim was debunked as “bullsh*t,” by a federal agent with 15 years of service. It’s not just popular with civilian use for personal protection, it’s also a popular chambering for law enforcement. The idea of a high caliber weapon, there is simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting.”įox News reported that according to the ATF’s Annual Firearms Manufacturing & Export Report, pistols produced in 9mm comprised of approximately 56.8 percent of new pistols produced in 2019, making up about 42 percent of pistols produced between 20. “A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body. 22 caliber bullet will lodge in the lungs and we can get it out,” President Biden said on Memorial Day. The president made the outlandish claim that there is no rational basis for 9mm handgun ammunition. The Biden administration doesn’t bear a lot of credibility when it comes to ammunition. That’s hard to believe when Winchester Ammunition officials reached out to NSSF with concerns about this damaging proposal. White House press officials told The Washington Examiner that no such proposal was ever considered. The proposal, called “a backdoor way of trying to limit public access to the AR-15,” by Robert Cotroll, a law professor at George Washington University and expert on gun laws, was dropped. Another 52 Senators signed on to their own letter. Representatives signed a letter to the ATF over “serious concerns” over the proposed policy. Members of Congress got involved when 238 U.S. Over 310,000 comments were submitted to the Federal Register on the ATF’s proposal. Hunting enthusiasts know that handguns are often built to accept rifle calibers and are used for sporting purposes. The ATF move in 2015 was, of course, playing fast-and-loose with scientific data. The exemption was never required in the first place and was sought (and granted) out of an over abundance of caution. This ammunition is by definition not “armor piercing ammunition” under the Gun Control Act. The administration attempted to revoke the “sporting purpose” exemption for the popular “green-tip” ammunition claiming it didn’t qualify for the exemption because it was “armor piercing ammunition” and that the ammunition was increasingly popular in AR-pistols. The Obama-Biden administration attempted proposed regulations through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to ban the sale of the popular ammunition in 2015. That’s because this isn’t the first time President Biden has attempted to end sales of surplus ammunition. Cornyn (R-Texas) left Washington, D.C., when negotiations over legislative text weren’t fruitful.Īt the same time, The White House was quietly informing Winchester Ammunition that they were thinking about tinkering with “green-tip” ammunition sales. Still, President Biden scoffed and publicly said the legislative framework didn’t go far enough.
Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) set aside his ideas of gun bans and raising the minimum age to legally purchase a long gun. Senator to avoid interfering with delicate negotiations on legislation in response to the tragedy at Uvalde, Texas. President Biden has been asked by the lead Democratic U.S. The timing of a potential policy couldn’t be more conspicuous. Winchester would be forced to reduce that workforce if commercial sales of ammunition were halted, posing a serious risk for the ability of the production facility to fulfill its mission during a wartime footing. That’s how they are able to sustain the workforce that surges capacity to the Defense Department during conflicts. Winchester sells excess ammunition produced during normal operations. The Lake City, Mo., ammunition production facility is operated under contract by Winchester Ammunition. It would also risk the jobs of up to 500 employees and the Defense Department’s ability to surge ammunition production during increased operational tempo periods. That would potentially choke off over 30 percent of the ammunition used on AR-15 style rifles by law-abiding citizens. The White House’s press people are denying it, but NSSF learned from Winchester Ammunition that they were being told that M855/SS109 ammunition sales to civilians from the Lake City, Mo., facility are on the chopping block. There’s no other way to explain why he and his administration are determined to tangle with ammunition. President Biden really doesn’t like it at all.
None of that, though, makes him as angry as ammunition. Standard capacity magazines completely creep him out. He castigates modern sporting rifles (MSRs), as “weapons of war.” He’s also pretty angry about privately made firearms PMFs – or those scary “ghost guns,” that have existed since before America was founded. President Joe Biden doesn’t like a lot of things about guns.
