And yes, I am serious. You will continue to fail to have any real impact if you advocate spending political capital on issues that do NOTHING to increase public safety.

In the above post, I told you why this is the wrong way to approach the issue: because it will not achieve what you wish to achieve. Spending political capital on it is foolish.

If you want to do something about handguns capable of penetrating soft body armor, then you need to do as I suggest, and look to regulate handguns capable of firing a cartridge powerful enough to do so. THAT could potentially make a difference, if you can make it happen. Although AFAIK, these AR-15 "pistols" have not been used in crimes. They are too big to conveniently conceal.

You can insult me. You can call me Bubba. Go right ahead.

It won't change the simple facts.
