#1 Next up: Banning flesh-piercing bullets, I suppose.

#2 And shortly after that, paint balls.

They don't always wash off.

Snark of the day, with a splatter.

#3 I guess next up is finding an idiot to make a "pistol" that shoots 30-06.

#5 This is just the beginning to strip us of our arms. It will accelerate under Hillary and her reformed Supreme Court.

#6 That's pretty aggressive looking ammo. No wonder U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour is a-scared.

#7 Rifle round in a pistol? No thanks. ATF is reaching on this one if it weren't for a libtard big government judge.

And isnt AK47 7.62 not 7.52, or is this s special pistol caliber?

#8 This is a dangerous world, just sayin'. Bad things can happen at any time and anywhere. People used to understand that.

#9 7.52 bullets coming through a rifled 7.62 barrel. Talk about gas blow by, and a no-spin zone.

#11 7N6 is the Russian government designation for the 5.45x39mm ammunition for the AK-74, not the AK-47. The ban was imposed for the 5.45x39mm some time ago because it was steel core.

The article is so full of mistakes, you have to wonder if the ruling could even stand a challenge.

#13 Rifle round in a pistol? No thanks. ATF is reaching on this one if it weren't for a libtard big government judge.

Under ATF rules, a short barrel rifle which does not have a butt stock is a pistol. Someone in the ATF discovered the existence of the Krinkov 5.45x39mm pistol, and since ATF rules state that rounds that can be fired in a pistol which are armor piercing (such as lead core ammunition that the 7N6 is), the ammunition can't be sold for civilian use. Ergo, 7N6 ammo was permanently banned for importation.
