Stop ATF’s Ammo Ban
NRA-ILA
In an effort to thwart BATFE’s attempted action, NRA has worked with U.S. Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, to draft a letter to BATFE expressing the lawmakers’ opposition to the proposed Framework. To read a copy of the letter, please click this link.
NRA will also be submitting its own detailed comments to BATFE in opposition to the ban and is continuing to work with Members of Congress on legislation that will put a stop to this abuse.
In the meantime, gun owners and other affected members of the public must act now to help ensure BATFE does not get away with this attempt to deprive Americans of ammunition for their favorite rifle and to squeeze ammunition markets between converging bans on both lead and non-lead ammunition. BATFE is accepting comments on their proposed ban and will consider all comments received on or before March 16, 2015.
Not every gun owner or pro-gun enthusiast agrees with the NRA and their policies. However, it is hard to ignore the lobby power the NRA wields when it comes to influencing legislation. There is no other single lobby group for gun rights that has the kind of power the NRA does.
AR-15 owners who like to use the green tip M855 are in jeopardy of losing their favorite ammo to a recent decision by the ATF which would make it illegal. With the NRA throwing its weight behind fighting this potential ban, gun owners have a much better chance of rolling back this change in policy.
If you would like to help fight this ban, please follow the instructions offered by the NRA in contacting the right people in Washington and at the ATF to let your voice be heard.
