My husband, a retired Army professional marksman, does not think that hollow point bullets are appropriate for range practice. They are intended to be kill shots.

And they are outlawed for use in combat by treaty:

The Hague Convention of 1899, Declaration III, prohibited the use in international warfare of bullets that easily expand or flatten in the body. [3] This is often incorrectly believed to be prohibited in the Geneva Conventions, but it significantly predates those conventions, and is in fact a continuance of the St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868, which banned exploding projectiles of less than 400 grams, as well as weapons designed to aggravate injured soldiers or make their death inevitable. NATO members do not use small arms ammunition that is prohibited by the Hague Convention.

Exactly. Full jacketed bullets are used for proficiency training. JHP are used for kill shots.

QUESTION: Is it ridiculous to believe that a corrupt crony government will disarm the people at the behest of their super elite and mega rich cronies who own our government and have their own security?

If you were rich and could walk away with billions like those on Wall Street and as others have done, without ever paying the price of prosecution, would you prefer having armed peasants around, or would you prefer that they be disarmed?

Since prehistoric times, the weak have been kept weak by keeping them working and unarmed. Will it change now?
