So they want to go to 5.7x28 or 5.56 NATO because 9 mm can't do body armor. Two observations; 1. There is AP 9 mm we Civilian drones just are not allowed to purchase it. 2. if they go to an AP capable round then any body armor likely to be worn by a President is now rendered ineffective if they screw up.

9mm AP causes ice pick wounds from my understanding, and extreme overpenetration on soft targets.

I'm just amazed they aren't all packing something akin to the AKS74U.

Yes i agree. Anything but a smart gun would be hypocritical. Obummer needs to lead the way in smart gun technology.

I am thinking of writing my Senators and Representatives that very thing.
