[Blaine]

Occasionally congress does some good.

We posted at the same time. I just deleted mine.

I saw this elsewhere a few minutes ago,

BATFE withdraws framework for further consideration: http://www.atf.gov/press/releases/20...framework.html

Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study. Accordingly, ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework. After the close of the comment period, ATF will process the comments received, further evaluate the issues raised therein, and provide additional open and transparent process (for example, through additional proposals and opportunities for comment) before proceeding with any framework.

I'm sorry.

Excellent.

It's not over , not by a long shot. They'll be back, they always are.

Obummer can still do it with the stroke of a pen by executive order and would not surprise me one bit to see him do it.

Never let your guard down, not for a moment.

Absolutely correct, Sir. I was sort of celebrating the cooperation of the Rs & Ds on this one....It was a bipartisan effort for a change.

The way it should be

Yep, by hook or by crook.

[Sixgun]

It's all over...once again, we have won. I've been told that common sense always beats the armchair ballistician.---6

[Ray Newman]

And they admitted they will be back -- from the quote provided by Malamute!:

"ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework [italics added: rcN]".

[octagon]

I like that "Good faith interpretation" part

[AJMD429]

At least it does show (to some extent) that massive and loud objections from the 'gun community' actually can do something.

Too bad we don't get that agitated more often.

The irony of it not even being that good a round (not that accurate, not that 'penetrating' and not consistently immediately incapacitating) vs the others out there makes the fact that they selected it obviously NOT for any other reason the because it would set precedent, and 'sounded good' to the media-idiots.

They are just waiting for us to doze off again

Why waste money on advertising your product. All you need to do is get the government to think about banning it and the demand for what you are selling skyrockets through the roof along with your profits.

It doesn't take much to set off the ammo hoarders these days.
The local Cabelas said they sold nine pallets of .223 last week, and very little of it was actually of the green tip variety.
Guys were just filling shopping carts with anything .223.
Hoping to make a killing at the next gun show I suppose........

I think the Dems might be looking to 1016.

[Ysabel Kid]

The good guys won - for now. I'm sure the Narcissist-In-Chief will not be pleased. His "fundamental transformation of America" requires unarmed serfs...

I hope it takes them twenty years to sell it at a profit!
