Ok, so most of that prolific verbiage justifies 200,000 rounds. What about the other 1,999,800,000?

The Geneva Convention covers the Laws of Land Warfare - treatment of POWs, protections for non-combatants, etc.

+1 in the Clan of the Enlightened. ;-)

“...she thinks it’s fine as long as it’s the government with all the guns and ammo, but it’s unacceptable for US little folks.”

That statement is what is called a bullseye.

IMHO

I heard that the Brits were happy to sign the Hague Convention because their 303’s tumbled, anyway. Not sure that is true, though.

Additionally, hollow-point bullets are designed to stop when they hit a target as opposed to passing through it and striking other objects.****

This is the sort of stupidity we’re dealing with.

When a hollow-point bullet hits your chest, does it bounce or just stop and fall at your feet?

Yeah, I know it does neither.

I had never heard that .303 bullets tumbled.

I hadn’t until last year, when I was chatting with a knowledgeable gun guy (in the US, not UK).
