Spillover Bullet Hits ______(fill in blanK)This is one problem that's consistent with Gangs all over, and just fill in the blank for any city. The problem is these gangs are all Firearm and Ammunition illiterate.
Every one of these 'stray bullets' that goes through people then a house wall, and kills some innocent kid in their bed, are those Geneva Convention 'humane bullets' -- the Full Metal Jacket round, aka, Ball Ammo.
Responsible gun owners who carry for self protection, or have that gun in the nightstand (because a cop won't fit), use Hollow Points or Self Defense rounds, aka Frangible Bullets. And a Hollow Point, or a Frangible Bullet won't cause all this collateral damage. But do Gangs know this? Yeah right. They're lucky they can tie their own shoes.
So here's one request for Gangs all over -- stop with the Ball Ammo and use Hollow Points. If you want to whack a rival scumbag gang member fine. Just make sure he's the only one that gets whacked with your bullet. Not some nine year old asleep in her bed
Oh. and learn how to hold and aim a friggen handgun. Sideways ain't it Homie.
I am aware that some manufacturers recommend FMJ rounds for better feeding, like the High Point Carbine (I own one). But these maggots aren't using High pPint Carbines when they go on a drive by or for a 'hit'.
Hate to break it to you, but a hollow point can penetrate walls and continue on for some way as well. A large minority of the time, a JHP will get some crud in the hollow point as it first hits something and then acts like a FMJ round.
And a hollow point is different from a frangible round. Frangible rounds aren’t worth squat for self defense.
