YES!!
That is great news. The argument for armor piercing was a very dangerous slope for us, considering any 5.56 round will go through the class armor that the beat police wear.
I passed on to my Senators the FBI study that showed 4 police officers had been killed since 2004 by a 5.56 round. The type of round used was not defined but I think one was shot in the head and one was shot where the vest didn't provide coverage.
I believe it was all a ploy to show their power in classifying a round as armor piercing. Then it gave them the potential ability to ban all 5.56 ammo as armor piercing since it all is armor piercing.
Good job guys getting on the horn to your politicians.
