It only goes to show how a sucker is born every minute.
First it was the 22 ammo. Ammo makers overproduced the crap by the hundreds of thousands, then a false panic was sent out to the freaks who bought the crap up by the caseload. Every "survivalist" was saying the same crap, "i could use the .22 ammo for bartering"...
As if that was a legitimate reason to buy thousands of rounds they would never need.
Now it was the 5.56 mm model 109 bullet.
Collectively, they put out a false story about the bullets when in reality, the ammo maker simply overproduced the rounds by a half a million.
Rather than discounting the rounds and selling them at a loss, they instead, with the help of the right wing and the NRA put out the "Obama wants your ammo" and the gun freaks go nuts and buy every single SURPLUS round the manufacturer made.
The ammo company wins and the guns freaks lose. At close to 400 bucks a case, gun freaks would rather buy this crap than pay their rent/mortgage/car payments.
By the caseloads, I have personally seen these freaks recieving their crap ammo for a gun fight that will never come.
Nobody needs this round. Under a law that Ronald Reagan signed, this bullet should be illegal.

Those bullets under the 1994 assault weapons ban would not be allowed today if not for the right wing wacko republicans who are intent on seeing policemen killed by armor piercing rounds.
YAY!!! You get to keep your 5.56 mm model 109 military issue rounds!!!!
Congratulations, you may just insured a policeman somewhere in the USA will be killed with one. You can bet your ash I will remind you all of this when it happens.
Thanks again.
