re: #148 Rightwingconspirator

I’d like to point out when I said “I think the ACLU would..” I was offering my speculation/opinion not trying to claim that as a fact. It’s an opinion gained in part from the above quote from their spokesman in 1988 as well as other similar incidents.

By the way, RWC, hollow points are not dum-dums. If you read what was said:

Colin Poole, head of surgery at Ringriket Hospital in Honefoss, northwest of Oslo, told the AP news agency surgeons treating 16 gunshot victims have recovered no full bullets:

These bullets more or less exploded inside the body … These bullets inflicted internal damage that’s absolutely horrible.

Hollow points are designed to expand but remain intact. A cross-cut dum-dum, which can be made made but not purchased, begins to diintegrate on contact. Very different animal.
