" Interestingly, that “good stuff” as you put it cannot be used in a military conflict covered by the Geneva Convention, being that it is *all* hollow point."

Your posts have no validity or value because of the erroneous information presented. The Geneva Conventions deal with the treatment of war prisoners and do not address the subject at hand. It is The Hague Conventions that address acceptable methods and bullet types used when conducting civilized warfare between nations. Those conventions only apply to uniformed enemy soldiers, not against terrorists or during civil wars. In addition, the U.S. did not sign the Hague Conventions, although we generally conform to the Standards.

" US ammo makers have chosen their side."

Which side of what? The U.S. commercial ammunition manufacturers are running at maximum capacity and have never produced more ammunition than recently. The U.S. government buys only a tiny fraction of that production. The majority is being purchased and hoarded by civilian conspiracy freaks who believe the nonsense published on various Internet forums by genuine, low information, kooks.

Please gets your 'facts' straight before posting additional misinformation.

The quote you are "responding" to was not posted by me.

Please get your "facts" straight before unleashing your vitriolic invective.

Also lease note that The Geneva Convention and the two Hague Conferences are often referred to by international law scholars in a collective manner as a single body comprising the laws of warfare.

If my failure to satisfactorily split hairs to your liking disturbs you well ..... sorry.
