In reply to the discussion: Why US liberals are now buying guns too [View all]pablo_marmol
(2,375 posts)41. The "cop killer bullet" myth was given up on looong ago.
Yet folks like you and Rachel Maddow are still puking it out. The teflon wasn't added to increase lethality -- it was used to reduce barrel fouling. Full metal jackets were replaced by hollow points to reduce over-penetration -- and are pretty much only used by shooters because they're less expensive for range practice that hollowpoints......which are kept for self-defense.
full metal jackets, teflon "cop killers" and stuff that is given to the militaries, but you knew that.
Military men are amused. Thanks for proving once again that supporters of gun restriction are unwilling to engage in simple/quick google searches to get at the truth:
