That's right. And the NRA's position in the past has been that those same
kinds of rifle bullets (SWAT-type armor penetrators) should not be illegal
because that might infringe on someone's hunting rights. I ask again, just
what does the NRA think hunters need those kinds of bullets for?
Well, it's kinda hard to kill a water buffalo, rhino, or bear with a
bullet that's not powerful enough to rip through body armor. And one
of the aforementioned creatures, when wounded, can kill the hunter.
Not pleasant to be trampled/shredded to pieces just because your bullet
wasn't strong enough.
Here's a hint for all you 'hunters' - you shouldn't be doing it anyway,
since it's not a 'sport', it's just killing for fun (fun? ha!), and if
you don't even use the corpse for food, that's even worse. So you don't
need guns, anyway. Hunting sucks. The only reason you should kill animals
is to eat, or to defend yourself, and for very controlled culling if the
animals become enough of a danger that the government hires people to
do this work.
To anyone who thinks hunting is fun: you're pretty sick. Is taking the
life of another 'fun'? Maybe you should get a couple of people out to 'hunt'
you and see how much 'fun' that is.
