So let's assume that whatever Congress does that it's ineffectual and Obama just goes ahead with this ban. You can buy the projectiles: http://www.surplusammo.com/223-caliber-2...000-count/
What's to stop someone from taking the projectiles and just manufacturing a quasi M855 round anyway? And selling them? There would be a huge profit incentive in this as well because there would be quite a premium on these rounds. This is where it gets interesting because for the so-called ban to be effective, there has to be teeth. ATF would have to put the screws to somebody with fines and jail time and it takes a judge to go along with that plus a jury.
The way I see it, even if Congress does nothing, this ban can be undone if there is widespread defiance at the grass-roots.
I mean if Hillary can defy a real law (email) how much more so can people defy what's not a law at all?
