So the article says he is being charged with manufacturing armor piercing rounds because his prints were on unspent rounds.....but the article mentions nothing else about those rounds but discusses tracer rounds? Something is off in this article.

A lot of questions remain and is off. I still believe there was a belt fed 5.56 and belt fed 7.62, not what was found in his room.

It wasn't clear in the article what laws, if any, the guy broke.
P.S. Earthlink is still a thing? I thought it died a long time ago.

SN James MacKay - It's easy to state he 'manufactured armor piercing rounds', but there's no additional info. ATF tried to ban 5.56 M855 (green tip) ammo a couple of years ago because it was 'armor piercing', but they failed. Civilians own tens of millions of this particular cartridge. News of this type is always presented as though everybody should be triggered by the words 'armor piercing' and mindlessly nod that this must be a 'bad guy'.

SN James MacKay - I realize the article stated armor piercing rounds as a problem, but without identifying a specific law that was being broken, I have no way of knowing if was just a problem for the author because he doesn't like the idea of someone selling armor piercing ammo.
