It won't.
How would you define "armor Piercing"?? That is to say, what kind of armor or how thick? I believe you'll find that your "common sense" definition is very different than our governments.
I'm using conventional copper jacketed lead bullets in this example. Any common center fire rifle projectile traveling at excess of 2000 fps will penetrate steel plate up to 1/4 thick. Speed up the bullet, and the penetration of thicker steel increases.
Can you now understand how far reaching this approach to banning armor piercing ammo will be?
