Just another ploy to go after the AR platforms and AR pistols. They like to make up the rules as they go.

From GOA:
ATF cries “uncle” after getting hammered from the public
The agency is now crying “uncle,” in the face of thousands upon thousands of negative comments from gun owners all around the country -- including more than 200 congressmen.
The agency said today:
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.
A “good faith interpretation”? Well, that’s laughable. But realize the agency says the issue deserves “further study.”
So now the question becomes: Is this a genuine retreat, or just a “tactical retreat,” as we saw with Operation Choke Point? In that case, the federal government removed gun dealers from its “risky business list,” but continue to persecute them under that program on a case-by-case basis.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said 80,000 comments rolled in, many against the proposal to ban the 5.66 M855 "green tip" ammo. The NRA and the other groups still plan to flood ATF mailboxes with opposition letters just to make sure they go through with their withdrawal.
good on them!

Does anyone realize they did this last year with the 7N6 5.45×39mm (AK74) ???
They probably figured the M855 could be banned just as easy without being challenged on it's so called "armor piercing" capabilities.

write your congress critters and let them know that the military already has armor piercing bullets that are not available to the public. They (the military) already define what an armor piercing bullet is - congress, on the other hand has no clue what an armor piercing bullet is.

according to the NRA and several other news agencies the ban will not be taking effect.
After all the comments and the NRA lobbying the ATFE has decided that the M855 round is not the "cop killer" bullet that they were led to believe it was and that it is used primarily in recreational shooting.
Duh! If they had spent five minutes on the web they would have known that!

Just another small piece of the gun grab agenda. The incremental erosion of our rights is the goal and such minor things as common sense will not defer them.

My understanding is that the Democrats have already announced a new plan to ban 5.56/.223 ammo. Those who seek to disarm the law abiding will never give up. They don't give a damn what the PEOPLE think.
