Dear [Mini-14]:
Thank you for your recent communication regarding H.R. 1460, the Second Amendment Rights Protection Act. I appreciated hearing from you.
I support the Second Amendment for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. Legitimate sportsmen and women should not be denied the rights guaranteed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution.
I do not support outlawing hand guns, but I do support sensible measures like trigger locks, waiting periods, and a ban on cop killer bullets that threaten the lives of law enforcement officers. Such measures reinforce the positive role of law-abiding citizens who wish to protect their homes with a firearm. I also support new and innovative technology, such as "Smart Gun" technology, which ensures that only law abiding gun owners may user weapons.
etc., etc., etc.
Sincerely,
Mark Steven Kirk
Member of Congress
MUCH more effective than those wussy cop-killer bullets.
I'm with you on that one, unless it's a plasma, laser or particle beam handgun.
With this super combination, your gun would only be able to shoot bullets at "rogue" cops, but not the "good" cops.
The gun control advocates originally defined cop killer bullets as teflon coated bullets caliming they would more easily penetrate body armor. Some have now tried to extend that definition to ordinary hollow points.
It is well known that body armor is effective at stopping handgun bullets and in particuliar the hollow points. However, none is very effective at stopping rifle bullets.
To manufacture your own "cop killer" bullets. Take ordinary flat nose, hollow point, or full metal jacket bullets and drill into the nose with a 3/16" drill. Press a steel BB into the hole. Seal with wax to keep the BB in place and provide lubrication. The outer bullet will separate the kevlar or fiber glass from the resin matrix, and the lubricated BB with travel through.
