Hollowpoints future in America

[bushmaster1313]

It's New Joysey.

The saving grace of hollow point ammo is that it is less likely to over penitrate the intended target and hit an innocent bystander. Expanding ammo is also easier to stop with body armour so it poses less risk to the police.

New Jersey's law on hollow point handgun ammo is very strange.

You can:
Buy them at the store,
bring them home,
keep them at your house
take them to the range,
and shoot them at the range.
but everything else is prohibited.

To give an idea how strict NJ is on Hollow points, the police can possess and use H.P. ammo and when an officer retires he is advised that he can no longer carry H.P. ammo in his weapon on the street, then he signs a document that he has been advised and is aware of the law.

I'm afraid that they (US Gov't or states) will go after lead bullets someday, not just for hunting like CA, but for practice rounds as well.

Don't worry .. we will still have balsa wood to our good after lead is gone (great for HD/PD within 12 inches) - that is until we are properly programmed that the cutting down of trees for the production of balsa wood hurts the environment. It is then those who are programmed will see it their way, yield to their cause, and give up guns.

Hollowpoints have been banned over here in Belgium for quite some time now.

This is insane. So these moron beurocrats ban HP ammo so, if one is forced to shoot to defend ones self, the bullet has a far greater chance of exiting the perpetrator and harming an innocent bystander?

To them, the obvious solution is for you to not defend yourself. If you had any value as a human being, you'd have bodyguards...

Yep and by "value" you, of course, mean "wealth"... enough cash to buy protection like those sissy beurocrats.

You know, this poster was for the stupid microstamping and ammunition sales record concepts ... but it applies to HP regulation, as well:
