They must mean green tip. All ammunition is body piercing. Green tip isn’t armor piercing. It was deployed because 5.56mm rounds were found to ricochet off of automobile windshields, and they needed a steel penetrator. It’s a compromise for urban warfare. There isn’t any hard shell body armor currently deployed by the U.S. military (e.g., ESAPI) which green tip will penetrate.
But y’all know all of that.

What’s very truly interesting, is, should these weapons have been confiscated from III percent group or any other right wing group we would have been inundated by screams of “we have to get these weapons of war off our streets” confiscating them from a left-wing will group, nothing but silence.
But the move to ban them is coming !

A “small firearms collection” is what we’d call that in Texas.
The ignorance in Chicago is deep, very, very deep.

I did a double take and then burst out laughing at that headline.
There is nothing Orwellian at all about a Police Intelligence Section and Community Safety Team. Nothing at all. Move along slave, nothing to see here.
