It was a red herring issue.

Number of cops killed by green tips this past year?


Zero.

Re: It was not a red herring issue.

Circumstances change. The exemption has been in place for almost 30 years, and the ATF was bound by law to review the exemption. As of this date, they've decided to side with the overwhelming majority of public comment and leave the exemption in place, which makes perfect sense considering that they have no evidence that the rounds are being manufactured and sold for any but sporting purposes.

Holy shit. Common sense prevails! I'm going to get a drink and celebrate my new found belief in humanity.

Why would or should it have gone through?

If you want to hold on to that, I would suggest not reading anything else on this board.

I opened a couple of the threads saw who was posting in them and just closed it. They make me sad clown face.
