The reason the .558mm armor-piercing (AP) bullet issue came up is that AP bullets aren't allowed in pistols. Originally, these bullets worked only in rifles, but a few years ago, someone started making pistols that can fit them, thus requiring a review by the ATF. So the gun industry has gotten itself into this situation where a product might be shifted into a banned category.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
If "state" can't mean the nation (like it does in the phrase "enemy of the state"), then people in DC, PR, VI, MP, GU, & AS can't qualify for ObamaCare subsidies no matter what.
I missed most of what Ian Millhiser said. I'm sure he's insightful, but I keep getting distracted by his pronunciation of "law" as /lawl/, like when Michele Bachmann says "Unined States". Maybe it's just a velar /l/, and not a plain dental /l/, but it's very noticeable. If it were part of a whole accent, maybe I could ignore it.
