The Law Enforcement Protection Act which regulates ammunition says this...


(B) The term “armor piercing ammunition” means—
(i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper or depleted uranium; or
(ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.

Will someone kindly explain to the anti-gun folks what this means, particularly the definition of the word "entirely"?

1. we need a citizens protection act which regulates gun owners until they quit shooting us nt

2. Murder and assault are currently still illegal

Would you prefer it to be illegaller using a gun?

4. A scan of GD on any given day shows --

the cops -- you know, the ones you want enforcing gun control laws -- are shooting and abusing unarmed people.

Perhaps you should revisit your Citizens Protection Act.

5. You have that, it's called the 2A.

Safety first...

3. Which is why I doubt the ATF will actually ban it.

They're burecratically inept for sure, but there is no way even the greenest lawyer in the org wouldn't catch on to that.

Maybe they're secretly trying to rile up the frothing right, and give a boost to ammo sales too...the change to 855A1 (which IS legally AP) leaves a lot of unsold inventory..
