Where did I say they did not have hollow points?
I actually said it made more sense to use hollow points for training. My mathematical analysis of the situation is irrefutable and disagreeing with it and saying the ammunition purchases show intent against citizens is tin foil hat worthy.
Careful now, that's a bit shilly. Refute this: Firing range ammunition is much cheaper stuff, not even typically used by the general public in the USA outside of ranges. Your ricochet-avoidance-in-training argument looks good, except for the fact that it's cobblers. Nobody uses hollow points in training in the USA.
Hollow points, just to reiterate, have a specific purpose: maximum damage to human flesh with minimum aiming skill. They're so horrific that they're banned for use in war under the Geneva Convention. But that's okay because when the police in the USA use them they do so because they stop in the target and don't pass on through and hit someone else. How thoughtful.
Here's another point for your irrefutable mathematical analysis: in the entire Iraq War the US military used 70 million rounds each year. That's less than 10% of this DHS 5 year option on 750 million body-destroyer hollow points. So even if they only take up one year on their option, that's 150 million hollow points for just one US government department's domestic use. Over double what the US military used each year in Iraq! And this all at a time when war is being declared on the armed sector of the American public. Coincidence?
Come on chaps, you're survivalists. You're not allowed to believe in coincidences any more!!!
