She conveniently leaves out the fact that hollow point bullets are not used by the military (at least officially) because it is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions which OUTLAWs them, primarily to the great damage they do when striking a human.

Humans in this case are Americans our government feels it is more important to maim or kill than to go straight through and risk killing a dumb ass reporter, for instance.

Strictly speaking, it’s the Hague Convention of 1899 that outlaws bullet design intended to enhance damage, not the Geneva Conventions.
