I am not an expert on this corner of federal regulations, but
as I understand it, federal law largely bans the importation and manufacturing
of armor piercing ammunition, 18 U.S.C. sec. 922(a)(7), but doesn't ban the
sale or possession of such ammunition. (I haven't see Granholm's statement,
and I certainly don't want to endorse it, nor am I commenting here on the
merits of restriction on such ammunition.)

Gov. Granholm challenged other panel discussion members over why they need
armor piercing bullets. Armor piercing handgun ammo is banned isn't it? Or
did I miss a repeal? If she thinks the president's initiative will ban rifle
bullets that can pierce armor, that is a problem for rifle owners.
