gscloud: Yes, Glaser does make a .223 round.
Well I'll be, sounds oxymoronic, like attaching a parachute to the .223 bullet after lopping off it's head.
Bet that'll go real well with ar15 owners, use a glaser safety slug so as to denude your killing ability; then they wonder 'did I get my .223's confused with glasers'? am I hunting varmints with a safety slug?
The existence of a glaser .223 means little tho, since there'd be no mandate to use it for home defense, the same existing sitch would exist for most all intents & purposes with an ar15 in the home - most all wouldn't have glasers.
Those inclined to use a glaser with an ar15 would be more inclined to want (or have) a handgun for home defense anyway.

Who is "we", and where did "we" do this? I was buying my own ammo for my .22 when I was 14-15...

We already know AR15's kill large numbers of people very quickly and effectively.

I'd love for you to compare .223 Remington to .270 Winchester or .30-06 Springfield (deer calibers).

A 270 with a hunting bullet will cause MUCH more devastation than standard .223 ammo
