Following the tragic attack on Dallas police officers late last week, CBS anchor Scott Pelley took it upon himself on Monday to pressure Vice President Joe Biden for the Obama administration ban so-called ‘armor piercing rounds.” “Late today we asked Joe Biden about the ready availability of armor-piercing bullets,” he stated on CBS Evening News, “Dallas' mayor has blamed them for penetrating his officers' vests.”
Pelley seemed to go after Biden right out of the gate, “Why hasn't your administration restricted the sale of armor-piercing rounds through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives?” The vice president responded by saying he and Pat Moynihan tried to ban them in the past. But he blamed the bill’s failure on Congressional Republicans and the evil gun lobby.

Scott Pelly dutifully performing his assigned duty of constructing a narrative blaming the NRA for the cop deaths.
BATF sells armor piercing bullets?
There’s no globalist agenda here...
Well, weren’t/wasn’t the weapon used “issued” by the NRA? :)
Scott Pelley is a fifth-column leftist media Obama buttboy.
I thought most of the officers were shot in the head.
That’s the first I knew that depleted uranium rounds were available to the public. Does Walmart have them? What calibers?
I got me a SKS and that’ll shoot through an elementary school.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Do some people get the special white privilege discount on this ammo?
Too late. Been there done that.
Any rifle bullet will go right thru a vest only rated to stop handgun ammo.
This is the latest buzz word being pushed by anti-gunners.
He was using a Saiga (civilian AK-74). I have the same rifle. I don’t know if it was a 7.62x39 or not.
Well since it's an anchor for SeeBS demanding it, to hell with the laws and The Constitution, it must be right.

Any rifle round will penetrate a cop’s vest which is designed for pistol rounds... I don’t think they wear plates on a day-to-day basis (or didn’t before this event).
If someone’s shooting at you with a high powered rifle, there is no body armor that’s going to help you.
They do sell, or did, M855s which are steel core 5.56mms (called Green Tips).....I got a great deal on a thousand rounds a couple three years ago.
The 30’06 black tips (I think called M2 AP or something) are harder to come by but you can still buy. You have to go looking for them.
Just trying to resurrect the old “Cop-Killer Bullet” mime.
Standard .222 soft nose will go through 1/4 inch steel plate just like a drill.
‘That’s the first I knew that depleted uranium rounds were available to the public. Does Walmart have them? What calibers?’
It is possible. They are not depleted uranium rounds.
