re: #203 Targetpractice

So my local representative somehow got me on his mailing list and today I got an email from him with the latest poll concerning matters in the district. Was it a poll about job creation? Nope. Environmental issues? He’s a Republican, so no. Infrastructure spending? Haha, no.

No, the issue that was of such major importance that my representative decided to run a poll was…should green-tip ammo be banned by the BATF. And he’s, of course, portraying the ammo as popular with “sports hunters and target shooters.” So I might as well be responding to an NRA push poll.

Green tip ammo is popular with plinkers and gun fuckers who otherwise don’t know what the hell they’re doing. I load my own rounds for target shooting, as does everyone else in handgun metallic silhouette. Other target shooters either load their own or purchase “match” ammo. When hunting, you don’t want a round that’s dedicated to penetration (Which is the purpose of green-tip) because you don’t want to shoot a little bitty hole all the way through your target and subsequently chase down the animal while it bleeds to death.
