gun control......

[gmpowered]

I can't believe the anti gun idiots think this will save any lives. They use the excuse that the m855 in a pistol will penetrate body armor is a joke. Obviously the idiots at the ATF must not have ever heard of a Thompson contender. They have some 40+ different caliber barrels available and most are rifle calibers larger than the .223/5.56 Hell just think what a 30/06AP would do to body armor. Lets not forget the S&W 500 with a 350gr bullet it has 2,250 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle. The m855 only has 1,250 ft/lbs at the muzzle.

ok rant over.
have a nice day.

That's the whole point of the ban, if a pea shooter can defeat body armor what will something bigger do? Ban that too.
You don't even need armor piercing to defeat "body armor" most 100 + year old hunting cartridges will defeat most armor.
