Next On Gun Control Agenda: Non-Lethal Bullets
I suppose non-lethal bullets would be beneficial under certain circumstances, such as on a plane or in crowds, but if someone is breaking in my home, I'm not shooting to wound. I'm shooting to kill.
Executives with a Boise-based company are poised to begin marketing a new type of ammunition specifically for law enforcement teams and designed to avoid causing serious or fatal injuries to their targets and bystanders.The technology was created at Integrity Ballistics LLC, a company that has spent more than 10 developing and testing a round that resembles a shotgun shell. The round fires a synthetic ball that flattens upon impact and is intended to stun or subdue the target and the plan is to make it available only to law enforcement. (Source)
I don't believe a non-lethal bullet will remain only for law enforcement. It will just be a matter of time, if the gun control lobby fails at banning gun ownership, they will press to force the use of non-lethal bullets.
