Body armor bullshit

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. Any hunting rifle will penetrate class III
body armor, front and back, as will a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with a 1 oz
deer slug. Body armor only protects against pistol fire. If ceramic inserts
are used it is good against 7.62X39 rounds (AK-47 and related weapons,
these are, contrary to gun-grabber claims, not high-powered rifles).
Furthermore, a high-velocity round, such as a 5.56mm, can deliver a fatal
blow through the arm or leg if it hits an artery. It turns the brain into
mush by hydrostatic shock. I killed more than one person this way in the
late SE Asian unpleasantries.

If you watch the tapes you can see one of the BATF officers shooting his
two teammates who went in through a window while his back was turned. When
he turned around he saw movement through the window and sprayed the room
with MP-5 fire. Both of the other agents died and the coroner's reports
were classified to keep anyone from being able to match the bullets removed
from them with  the other agent's weapon. You can also see another agent
shoot himself in the leg as he climbs a ladder.

Were you aware that by their own admission the first thing the BATF team
did upon arrival, prior to any contact, was to machine-gun all of these
people's dogs? Anyone does that at my house and they bloody well better
expect to die.

Where do you get this number six? I only recall three or four.
