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.

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.

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

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]".
"ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework [italics added: rcN]".
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Re: ATF Has Shelved The Ban On Green Tip
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.

Re: ATF Has Shelved The Ban On Green Tip
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.
Re: ATF Has Shelved The Ban On Green Tip
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........
