The article touches on three main points: 1)rifle caliber ammo for handguns, 2) BATFEs assertion that a ban on ammo that can breach soft armored LEOs, and 3) the old “public threat or LEO danger” canard arguing against allowing this ammo for it’s absurd “sporting purposes” legitimization for anything weapons.

Rifle Caliber for handguns: I own quite a lot of weapons, actually; the only rifle/handgun compatible are 45 ACP, 45 Colt, and 9MM. And there is the Governor variety with 45ACP, 45 Colt and .410 shotgun shell variety. None of these contain what I’d call “hard construction” - armor piercing - the most exotic these get are of the frangible/dispersive variety. I own quite a few rifles, too. 30’06, 30 Carbine, 7.62 X 39/54, 223/5.56, 9mm, 8 mm, 7.65 mm, and so on. There are ammo versions that are AP for most of them (except the 9mm).

There is, however, the FN 5.7 handgun ammo for that caliber which is what I’d call armor piercing. The same the Muslim Terrorist used at Ft. Hood.

The handgun/rifle crap is just that - crap. Just like that patently specious attitude that weapons have to be for “sporting purposes”.....

In my opinion, the first victim on the list is Fabrique Nationale pistols with their 5.7 ammo, and that will be followed up with a ban on all “non-sporting” ammunition which will include tracers, armored, dissipative (DRT ammo), hollow points, etc.
