interestingly, in many states only expanding bullets are legal for hunting since solid bullets just dont work and result in a wounded animal running off.

odd that the reverse is generally true under geneva convention, i believe. no doubt a freeper will double check me on that.

"Our mission is to stop violent felons," said Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch. "There is no reason for anyone else to have that ability."

Idiot - as a private citizen I have the right to defend myself and my home with the best ammo I can buy - I have just as much of a right to protect myself against violent felons as you do - ignorant @hole.....

These are the same people that required Glock
to put a 12.5 lb trigger on a gun
which comes with a 5.5 lb trigger.

Can you imagine the tedium of hollowing-out enough bullets to equip the NYPD's 50,000 cops? That was hard work.

That said, I carry EFMJs in both CCW guns, H&K .40 USPc and SA 1911.
