I was shocked earlier this month when the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives withdrew its proposal to prohibit the sale of 5.56 NATO armor-piercing bullets – so-called "green tip" rounds. ATF's finding that these bullets can be loaded into easily-concealed handguns – and that they pose a grave threat to police – means that they are no longer just tools for hunters. These bullets are a threat to our police officers and to our military men and women. |

It's hard to believe that a US congressman can be this stupid.
Hunters don't use "green tip" bullets. They use expanding bullets. And every bullet from a medium power or high power rifle will penetrate a so called bullet proof vest. It's the velocity and energy that cause the penetration, not the type of bullet. Bullet proof vests are only effective against hand gun and low energy cartridges.
Ban this bullet, and you might as well band almost all rifle caliber ammunition. That is why the NRA and any knowledgeable gun proponent is against this ban. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
