Commonly accepted and used for 30 years, no significant abuses of M855 .223/5.56mm ammunition has been documented that warrants such action. There is no evidence of an increased risk today than there was nearly 30 years ago when the "Sporting Purposes Exemption" was enacted. Recently, competing special interests have been attempting to prohibit or reduce lawful citizens access to firearms and ammunition through a series of legislation and actions that have all soundly been defeated through the legislative process, courts and the will of the majority. Based upon my personal experience, the elimination of the "Sporting Purposes" exemption will not enhance public safety and does not serve the interests of the Law Enforcement Officers Protection Act (LEOPA). If you have any questions or require anything additional, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Tim Mills
