It was done under the guise of “law enforcement safety,” though if anyone bothered to read FBI crime statistics, rifles are rarely used in crimes, let alone green tip ammo being used to target police officers. After the failed ban attempt, ATF Director B. Todd Jones decided to resign and take a job with the NFL.

Short work was made of the question this week by a United States District Judge, Frederick J.

And he set an aggressive schedule to speedily resolve the granting of a permit to plaintiffs.
