CBS Anchor Demands Executive Action on ‘Armor Piercing Bullets’

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.

“That’s the first I knew that depleted uranium rounds were available to the public. Does Walmart have them? What calibers?”

Well, I can tell you one thing, the .22LR depleted uranium rounds are ALWAYS out at my local Walmart. There’s a national shortage due to hoarders.

Wrong. See Level III and Level IV armor.

Maybe, Maybe not. Either way I do not want to be wearing it if a round from something like my 30.06 hits it. If it doesn’t kill you it will BREAK YOUR RIBS and you will wish you were dead after you pick yourself up off the ground if you are able.

Military body armor has ceramic plates that spread the impact out over the area of the plate. The specs for the body armor say it has to stop a .30-06 AP bullet.

P.S. You’ll heal from broken ribs a whole lot faster than a bullet wound through your lung.
