That's what I didn't get. Certainly any magnum load is going to cause severe body damage to the recipient unless the body armor is very high-tech and far too expensive for police department budgets.

The link described every box of ammunition I've ever bought except for a plinker .22 rifle I gave my son a few years ago.

I guess it really doesn't matter. The amendment was soundly defeated, but trying to make sense of it wasn't easy.

I think it does matter. Craig and Frist offered the Craig/Frist amendment which was the same thing only a little slower and subtler in its implementation. It matters becaused they tried and they will try again. We dodged a very nasty bullet today. The Pres. has to sign such a bill first and the House has a shot at it in conference committee and all but the gun-grabbers wanted this and their gunshow loophole crap and they will fight for it. The AP ammo ban has been flying under the radar because it might wake up the deer hunters. Also because its potential is much more sweeping than the AWB and that potential hasn't been widely recognized.
