re: #17 Obdicut

Honesty, I know jack shit about armaments.

The facts are hollow point bullets are more likely to stop a person, more lethal, and substantially less likely to pass through anything and hit an unintended person. Ideal for the very unfortunate necessity of lethal force by police.

They are also excoriated by the ACLU as designed to be more lethal. A clever half truth, since FMJ or full metal jacket ammunition is much more likely to pass through something and kill a bystander. Even .22 caliber sport bullets are made that way for that reason-Safer for anything beyond the target.

Frankly I think the ACLU would forbid firearm to patrol officers outright if they could.
