(2,014 posts)of course hollow points are the ammo of choice. Just like nukes are the ammo of choice. But you can't convince me that hollow points made available to the general public are anymore effective in self defense than other available ammo. All that does is make lethal ammo available to everyone and the ammo dealer wins.
To your second point you made my case. I never condoned FMJ for hunting ammo. Hunting ammo is supposed to be lethal and humane. Principals the OLD NRA stood on. The ammo you listed are not full blown hollow points. Manufactures have the technology to produce a lethal but humane piece of ammo.
Post the studies you you say you can reference. I'm not trying to hide anything or spread misinformation.
I posted this reactionary to my disgust of yet another mass shooting by an unstable individual that not only wasted the lives of innocent people but also that threatens my ability to engage in a sport/hobby I enjoy, a sport/hobby I take great lengths to make safe, a sport/hobby that I wish to protect. I will be the first in line to hand over my guns if thats what is called for' But I'm also first in line to try and educate people about this and to also 100% promote regulation and training. It is a sport/hobby, it is not a right period. If you think it's an individual right then I don't know wth I'm doing on this board. The founders never conceived automobiles. They began as a sport/hobby then they became weapons of crime they became weapons used to kill. Automobiles became a privledge because they became harmful to the untrained innocent.. That's why they are regulated. We have speed limits, safety requirements of the construction, LICENSING to make sure you are trained in the operation. REGISTRAISION to track the potential dark side of millions of these potential weapons being sold every year.
I have a drivers license, but I cant drive a semi. I want to buy hollow points I should need a license at a minimum.
