"The White House has said recently that banning 'armor piercing' ammunition like the wildly popular M855 round is 'common sense' and would make our police officers safer, which is a bold claim.

[...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
