The text of the Amendment has been getting posted to various threads since this morning. What I tried to do here was post what Craig actually said according to the Senate minutes.

I like seeing Teddy steamed. Not quite as much as I would enojy seeing him behind bars or doing a "short drop and a sudden stop".

Just for everybody, here is the current definition of "armor piercing."
