Information is now coming in as to the type of 9MM ammo purchased at Walmart and used in the Tucson shootings: low end FMJ practice ammo, what appears to be Winchester White Box.
Images from TPD clearly show these rounds and they are a match for the ones subsequently discovered and turned in after the event. In addition, initial reports from the MSM also stated that "they were not hollow points".
While recognizing that this was an unspeakable tragedy for the innocent people murdered and wounded by a certified lunatic, it is worth noting the decisive effect that these FMJ rounds had. Not having access to American premium hollowpoints (prohibited), I have seen it 1st hand overseas and in S America while working with local Military and Police.
While we all want to carry the most effective ammo available, after 32 years experience I have learned to be more concerned with shot placement than caliber or bullet design, and not to argue about either.
