The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has shelved their proposed ban on ammunition but U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney (FL-R) urges everyone not to give up the fight. Just because they decided not to enforce the matter does not mean they will not try again in the future. They just got caught this time.
Rep. Rooney said in order to prevent future abuses and overreach by not just by the ATF but other agencies as well, his bill Protecting Second Amendment Rights Act, H.R. 1180 needs to be approved by Congress.Rooney’s bill has forty cosponsors and if passed will prohibit any federal agency from implementing new regulations or banning ammunition that is currently legal.

Rooney continued to explain how our Second Amendment rights need to be protected and Congress cannot allow them to be regulated behind closed doors.
He also urged:We need to keep the pressure on the ATF and the entire Obama Administration.
