Howard 538 Posted February 2, 2018 Just saw this article: https://apnews.com/58e9557074dc4274887d8a9723d6eaef They are going after the guy that sold ammo to the guy who shot up Las Vegas a few month back. Sounds like going after the car dealer that sold you a car that you killed someone with. This is getting ugly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he was selling factory new SS109 he wouldn't require a license. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackandjill 683 Posted February 3, 2018 More importantly, watch out for NJ laws to the effect of "it shall be unlawful to manufacture, make, construct, load, reload, sell, give, gift, dispose or otherwise transfer any type of ammunition without appropriate license....." and "it shall be unlawful to buy, receive, or otherwise come to possession of ammunition of any kind without first obtaining permit....".

GRIZ 3,369 Posted February 3, 2018 2 hours ago, JackDaWack said: I though ss109 wasn't considered AP? If he was manufacturing ammo with a penetrator it appears he would be in violation. If he was selling ammo with a penetrator manufactured by a licensed firm he would not be in violation. We're still unsure what type of AP ammo he was making.

Bellasdaddy 31 Posted February 3, 2018 From what I read the ammo seller sold tracer ammo. My understanding is that the AP regulation refers to handgun ammo. So, if the ammo he sold was rifle ammo then it looks like they are looking for a scapegoat. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1LtCAP 4,262 Posted February 3, 2018 they're looking for someone to distract from what really happened.....hoping that it keeps people happy that someone was prosecuted. unless this guy's a multi-millionaire, he's going down, 'cause he probably can't afford to defend himself against this. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read he was licensed. If he sold M855 it's legal. Technically one could argue that if he did make real AP 5.56 ammo it was only intended for rifles. He probably will get off after spending $100k. If he wasn't a licensed manufacturer he could sell any surplus AP Ammo legally Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted February 3, 2018 Seller was operating within the rules of the law. Licensed and ammo was M855.

SJG 253 Posted February 3, 2018 Just curious, any proof that any of the victims were shot with armor piercing ammo? That proof is not necessary for what they have charged him with but could make a big difference to the outcome of his criminal case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't know what proofs or truths there are and I don't think LVPD does either. Feds are in charge of the narrative.

CAL. .30 M1 2,101 Posted February 3, 2018 ** get the tinfoil hat ** While we are talking about Armor piercing ammo - if you recall they accused him of shooting the Fuel Farm Tank at McArren. Do yourself a favor and pull up google earth and look at the distance from the hotel to the farm, then look at the effective range of a 5.56 cartridge, then look at the proximity of the farm to the cell phone lot - then find the report that said where the holes in the tanks were being investigated - *THEN* you will see why this is a not a lone shooter event and why it is a fully planned terrorist operation. The American public cannot process or otherwise deal with what the authorities actually know....without taking some form of xanax to cope..... they are week and mindless and cannot fathom the lengths to which others will go to actually kill them and destroy our way of life as it is.

I believe 308 loaded with AP would do damage to a tank 600 yards away. Would not be too hard to hit either. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
