Yep. ATF has been asking for comments on restricting bullets based on metallic content. The comments closed so they sent out a mass email. You probably emailed a while back and just now got a response.
ETA: better hide your dog just in case.

Dibs on dog.  Hopefully the bullets can get tumbled and reused.  Reloading materials are tough to find.

I just don't like getting replies to emails I didn't send ... it makes me wonder what they think I said.

They're just firing a pre-emptive shot across your bow.  

It's not like they have the power to destroy anyone's life or something.

1/8/2013 1:51:19 PM EDT
[#21]

1/8/2013 1:53:41 PM EDT

I've been emailing my reps about every gun related issue that comes along but don't remember addressing the ATF. I have made some rather large quantity purchases lately...

I wrote to the ATF a while back, but not about ammo.

Your emails were more than likely forwarded to ATF by your Rep

I got one as well. Its just a responce to the open commen period on their dumbass idea to consider armor peircing to cover a bunch of stuff that isnt. Lots of people sent in comments, you probably did and just forgot.

Thats weird I have never had them email me. They always send a letter anytime I ask them questions through email.

Screw them and go buy a lathe and make your own. I would also make them out of unobtanium just to piss them off more.

unless the ATF has started using RQ-7 Shadow's you'll be hard pressed to hear them  ...all of the bigger ones fly high enough that they're nearly silent from the ground.
