    "This speaks for itself." 
Yup. Britain has turned into France.

    Steel core AP bullets should be OK?

    Will Muslims still allowed to stab people using knives with lead content?
The article doesn’t say.

    I am 100% SURE that all of the criminals, gangs, and yes, even terrorists will follow these new rules.

    As long as all old lead ammo gets used on the rape and stab gangs.

    I just thought of one more thing.
If the EU banned testicles, would anyone notice?

    Because the UK has such great dental care to fix the broken teeth of those who bite in to tungsten shot instead of soft lead.

    I thought that testicles were surrendered in the EU decades ago.

    I’m sure depleted uranium should be a fine substitute.

    From Wikipedia: 
 The metal's only primordial isotope, bismuth-209, undergoes alpha decay with a half-life roughly a billion times longer than the estimated age of the universe. 
 I ain't holding my breath.

    Another weapons grab with a fictional excuse.

    Huh. It never occurred to me that the heaviest naturally occurring atoms also took up more space. It turns out that density isn’t very proportional to atomic weight. Lead’s density (11.32 g/cm^3) isn’t THAT much higher than copper (8.93), bisthmus (9.81) or nickel (8.91). It’s enough to make me wonder why depleted uranium (18.95) is used when tungsten (19.15) is actually heavier.

    I’d go with the 207 or 208.

Might as well go with depleted uranium rounds, just to be sure.
