When will people learn that Angel Shamaya is nothing much more than a rumor-mongering, anti-NRA activist?? Shamaya is so far out in left field on this one he is in the stadium parking lot.

The Craig amendment authorizes a two year study of so-called armor piercing ammuntion. It is NOT a ban on anything. This looks like an alternative to the Mikulski/Kennedy bans.

It just requires a study and the enhanced penalties for AP ammo possession or use in violent crime. It doesn't say anything about additional legislation after the study - just that there should be a study.

Quit jumping the gun until you have all the facts!!

Those blinder are getting uncomforatble, aren't they. Who promoted the seat belt study?

Well what did you mean by this..."enhanced penalties for AP ammo possession"

How can they enhance the penalty without defining the ammo. What constitutes AP ammo now? What about real AP instead of the nonsensical Teflon handgun ammo?

First of all, it is legal to possess AP ammo. It is illegal to purchase it or manufacture it. So, if what you say is true, then this amendment just outlawed the possession of AP ammo entirely?

I wish these legislators had a clue about the garbage they vote on. It should be a requirement that they must have at least some degree of education on the subject before being allowed to vote on it.

There doesn't need to be a study, save our tax money for better uses. There are experts on the subject of weapons and projectiles out there that have decades of study under their belts. Ask the questions to the real experts and get expert answers... stop asking the questions to the gun grabbers who have zero education on firearms.

The trick to putting down the gun grabbers is to ask them for the credentials that make them an expert on firearms. They don't have any and cannot give you any. I've slapped quite a few of them around with that and I have always given my credentials on the matter.

Yep, the yappy little dogs are out there again. They keep getting their news from crappy little web sites that have no idea what's going on.
They hate the NRA but they can't tell you what their gun group does.
They hate the Republicans but they want the dems back into power.
They complain they have Boxer, Feinstein or Schumer as senators but they won't sent phone calls, e mails or faxes.

A 'study', huh? WTF is there to 'study', and what do you suppose the intended outcome of that 'study' is? And WTF is a supposedly pro-gun Senator doing even opening that can of worms?
