Um..... I'm trying to rack my brain to remember the last time a PISTOL pierced armor.........
For some reason I always thought the BULLET pierced the armor.....and only certain bullets at that....... Who KNEW???
This just really makes me think I know nothing about weapons......

Ever wonder why massacres never happen at a gun range??

Oh Geez..... armoring piercing gun ? Now , breath, and imagine these same folks are trying to come up with a health care plan. OMG we are in trouble.
Seriously, is this the time for the NRA to put together a simply worded pamphlet to educate our Congressman and Senators on some common sense things.
It would have to be 964 pages, and the aids would have to read it for them!!

Might be a great idea,but nobody that was shot was wearing body armor,they even think about how moronic they are,People that don't know jack about guns and bullets suddenly decide they know what they are talking about

I am now stupider for having taken the time to read that mass of rambling drivel...
Bovine Scatology and fear mongering at it's best. I guess if you could throw a handgun hard enough, it might be armor piercing. Of course, if you can do that, there's probably a big red S on your chest and you can shoot laser beams from your eyes, negating the need for a gun anyway...

This issue on this firearm was dealt with by the US Senate already. Besides, We used to shoot old vest plates all the time when I was in the Army, I shattered a few of them with all sorts of NATO ammunition. I remember one time I shot a Kevlar helmet with the M4, AK47, 9mm, and 12ga slug. The only thing that didn't punch through and through was the slug, and it put a whopping cave-in on that bad boy.
They already have something (here) the politicians just might be able to understand
not again...
is it just me or do they seem dumber every time?
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws... serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man - Cesare Beccaria
How about an executive order banning the import of Muslim terrorists?![]()
