Take a good look because you won’t be seeing these .223 M855 green-tipped bullets in local gun shops for long.

The proposed ammo ban has people concerned (Sen. Rand Paul included) that once again our Second Amendment rights are being jeopardized. Supporters of outlawing the green-tipped bullets used with AR-15 assault rifles claim that it’s out of concerned for the safety of law enforcement officers, but is that really the case?

FoxNews reports that:

Lawmakers warn that the regulation – especially as it follows on the heels of attempts to restrict lead bullets — will “result in drastically reduced options for lawful ammunition users.”

Gun-rights groups also worry that the ban – if allowed to stand – won’t stop with this type of bullet.

“Almost any hunting rifle bullet will go through body armor, so you could prohibit almost any rifle bullet with this. This is the administration redefining the law on its own,” Alan Gottlieb, of the Second Amendment Foundation, told FoxNews.com

How far is too far in the Obama administration’s push for gun control? If you’re against or for this proposed ban on .223 M855 green-tipped bullets, let us know on Twitter or Facebook.
