Immigrants' rights group asks agents to stop using hollow bullet points


Jun 13, 2003

 

Saying that hollow-point bullets are too deadly, a Washington D.C.-based immigration advocacy group has requested that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stop their use by border-area agents.

Donald Kerwin, executive director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, provided The Sun with a copy of its letter to the department on Thursday. He said the organization hasn't yet received a response to the letter, which was sent on June 3.

The letter states hollow-point bullets expand by 160 percent on impact, and it asks the department to reconsider using them as it prepares to purchase approximately 225 million rounds of ammunition.

Yes, and while you're at it, please rename the department to "Border Reception Agency".

I thought the object of shooting someone was to inflict damage to/on them?

This is kind of like the groups suing to have water stations put along the route to make the passage easier.
