HR125 - [...] 7-day waiting period [...] [for] armor piercing ammunition

Isn't AP ammo already illegal? The fuck is the point of a 7-day waiting period, anyways?

HR127 - To provide for the licensing of firearms and ammunition possession and the registration of firearms [...]

Haven't mandatory firearm registries already been determined to be unconstitutional?

HR 167 - To prohibit the transfer of a firearm at a gun show by a person who is not a federally licensed firearms dealer.

No text yet, but I would be willing to bet this bill would prevent all transfer of a firearm by a private individual in general, forcing them to use a FFL dealer as an intermediary in the sale.

Isn't AP ammo already illegal?

The language is vague...but basically AP rifle rounds are legal (ie M855)

Per 18 U.S. Code § 921:

(17)

(A) The term “ammunition” means ammunition or cartridge cases, primers, bullets, or propellent powder designed for use in any firearm.

(B) The term “armor piercing ammunition” means—

(i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or

(ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.

(C) The term “armor piercing ammunition” does not include shotgun shot required by Federal or State environmental or game regulations for hunting purposes, a frangible projectile designed for target shooting, a projectile which the Attorney General finds is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, or any other projectile or projectile core which the Attorney General finds is intended to be used for industrial purposes, including a charge used in an oil and gas well perforating device.

Haven't mandatory firearm registries already been determined to be unconstitutional?

Previous supreme court ruling was that it would violate the 5th amendment, however I don't think it would take much for the communist regime to change this if taken before the court a second time. Further, the constitution doesn't seem to mean a whole lot these days.

How strange. Why ban handgun AP rounds and not rifle AP rounds??

And you are not wrong. I would just like to see them try and hear the case after what they did in 2018 with the NFA and that vet from Kansas
