(12,194 posts)Gun controllers, and ATF apparently, have problems correctly understanding the definitions of the words "partially" and "entirely":
(i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or
(ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.
In order to be lawfully banned under the law as "AP", the "projectile or projectile core" MUST be constructed entirely from one of a combination of the things listed above, and the ammo in question does not meet that qualification. In fact, it doesn't even come close.
Most people don't seem to be catching that.
