[QUOTE=wacojoe;1000802]...should it be permitted?
Why not? :shrug:
What would otherwise be an accidental wound becomes death...for starters?

We are going to do without a lot of products if you want to start banning anything that might cause death in the event of an accident.
We already do, Mike. Just take a look at your car and any number of children' products. There's a threshold there somewhere where the potential harm outweighs the usefulness. Castor Oil plant flowers are exceptionally beautiful, but there is a reason you can't buy seeds and grow them.Quote:

I vote Yea. It's like Mike say's; "Bullets are intended to be lethal" In fact I think we ought to supply them to the cripes and bloods. :wary:
You do understand that anyone caught in the crossfire with these things, as is often the case with thugs, would be dead or wish they were more so than now, don't you? It would no longer be "patching a hole."Quote:

Luckily, I never had to fire one.
Yea I understand Joe, and there is no trade off for innocent life, what if we included target practice with every box?:maybe:
I remember when the Glaser safety slug was trotted out with similar claims to be the 'end all' round. Nothing they describe can't happen with a standard hollow point round. Most people get shot from between 5-7 feet. As long as you hit your target all rounds are potentially lethal. Save your money.
I wouldn't buy them except maybe to blow up a watermelon, or something. I just don't think they should be banned.
If I ever need to shoot someone, my choice of weapon would be a 12 gauge shotgun with 00 buck. I'm sure that is just as lethal as the new bullets.
I'd rather get shot with one of the bullets, I'm seen what 00 does up close.Quote:
