One reason it was a big deal is this. #1 part of the law says it applies only to hand gun ammo, and it has to have a core comprised solely of steel,iron, copper, berrylium, depleted uranium, and some others with the exception of trace amounts of other materials. Part 2 of the law says that if the metal jacket comprises of 25% or more of the projectiles weight it is also banned. The ammo in question has a lead core and the jacket comprises 20% of the projectile weight. The fact that the ammo did not fit their own guidelines is a HUGE reason not to let the snowball start forming. Another point is that almost all .223 ammo will penetrate a bullet proof vest like the law enforcement wears, not because it is armor piercing but because of the energy of the bullet is more than the vests are designed to stop. IIRC even a 44 mag will penetrate these vests for the same reasons. For a little background the military quit using this ammo on. the battlefield because of its ineffectiveness, it would just go through leaving a very small wound. It is just cheap target ammo for everyone now and since they can't ram through an assault weapons ban they will try to make ammo higher priced. Now the fact that some people are marketing an AR style pistol helps bring up these issues, however even the fraternal order of Police say that this ammo is not an issue. Furthermore the AR pistols are around 20" long so they are too big to easily conceal and I would guess the muzzle blast is horrendous!
