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. |
