I don't see any reason why they need to sell hollow-point rounds, accidentally pulling a trigger with one of those could be a whole lot worse than a regular bullet.

Hollow point ammunition is actually safer to use as a home defense ammunition than a jacketed bullet. As a hollow point expands on impact, its forward velocity is slowed greatly, which reduces the risk of the bullet traveling through walls and hitting outside bystanders, or entering a neighboring structure.

That's a fair point, but then you have to consider what is more likely; a bullet passing through an intruder and injuring someone else, or someone accidentally firing a gun that has hollow point rounds loaded into it?

I think based on statistics the accidental injury rate is higher than the number of people who are shot during home raids.

Having said that, I think your point is reasonable enough to allow the sale of the bullets.

I have separate magazines for my Sig, which are specifically loaded with hollow points, and these magazines never leave my house. If I take it to the range, I have other magazines which I load with jacketed rounds.

Gun control will not work.

Drugs are illegal. People still die on then everyday.
