Americans Rushing To Buy Armor-Piercing Bullets

A plan by the ATF to ban AR-15 ammunition has Americans rushing to gun shops.

This armor-piercing ammunition, also used by the U.S. military, has been available to the general public since 1986.

The ATF is concerned that steel-tipped 5.56 mm rounds pose a threat to law enforcement because the bullets can pierce Kevlar, the substance that is used for bulletproof vests worn by cops, noted WREG.

However, pro-gun advocates claim they need steel-tipped bullets for target practice…

Ryan Cook, of the Eagle Armory in Springfield, Missouri, told the Springfield News-Leader, “We sold out of what we had in stock. We didn’t have a lot in the store but I might have sold four or five cases after ATF’s statement came out. I called our suppliers but they said there was none available to order. It’s like the ammo shortage before. People are going to panic.”

    It’s a sad day for America. When the stock of armor piercing ammunition is depleted, we will all be helpless prey to hordes of weapon wielding squirrels clad in high tech body armor. Steel your nerves my brothers. Rodent apocalypse is upon us and good God fearing sportsman have been left defenseless by this Moo-slim, Kenyan commie president.

    Look, if you’re going to stage a Christian Dominionist revolution, you need to be able to kill soldiers and federal law enforcement, and that means being able to penetrate their body armor.

    Yes, those armor piercing bullets are needed for target practice. The cardboard and plywood target cut outs are tough, and much more strong than they used to be in the past. With rapid fire on the AR-15, it’s guaranteed that at least one bullet will hit it’s target. But be careful, if you see a person of color buying this type of ammo at Walmart, please call the police and report someone “suspicious”, we wouldn’t want the wrong Americans to buy these armor piercing bullets.

    they’re panicking alright,
    how are we going to protect ourselves when we got no bullets
    and the government comes for our guns ?
    if one listens carefully, you might hear the ammunition companies
    whistling, on the way to the bank…works for the oil companies too……………
