And without a two year study, any so-called "cop-killer" bullet gets banned immediately, including the 9mm that went through the officer's vest after the first half dozen or so were stopped. Read this testimony from Kennedy. Do you think he cares whether you have another use for your firearm?
" Another rifle caliber, the 30.30 caliber, was responsible for penetrating three officers' armor and killing them in 1993, 1996, and 2002. This ammunition is also capable of puncturing light-armored vehicles, ballistic or armored glass, armored limousines, even a 600-pound safe with 600 pounds of safe armor plating."
So don't think your daddy's deer rifle or your 9mm is safe.

I don't think anything is safe with congress in session!
I believe Kennedys amendment should have been declared unconstitutional and thrown out and maybe the drunken swimmer be put up for impeachment for proposing such drivel.

a .30-30 is a weak round, and can't penetrate much of anything except light skin and tissue. If it hits solid bone it may brake the bone, but the bullet will be so disfigured that any further pentration is all but impossible. A .30-30 round was not intended for penetration; it was intended for expansion.
