“Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses statements made by a top NRA Lobbyist that is calling a proposal to ban Armor-Piercing Ammo a ‘move against women’.
The heavily armed NRA takes full advantage of their first amendment rights, and its top lobbyist Chris Cox is no exception. On their radio show last month Cox made claims that the banning of a type of armor piercing Ammo that has been dubbed a ‘green tip’ for AR-15 firearms is actually a thinly veiled attempt to make a move against women gun owners. The green tip is a rifle round that contains a hardened steel penetrator tip and is considered so powerful it is banned on many firing ranges, including the NRA’s own range. Cox’s reasoning is that President Obama’s proposed ban on the ammunition is because the low recoil makes it a preferred ammo type for women. He called on supports to rally behind the NRA and stop the ban.”
