It really shows that they know nothing about this weapon or the ammo that they want to ban. ss190 is available to LE only and is already classified as AP, and SS192 is no longer produced by the manufacturer.

This bill makes the assumption that if you buy one of these guns you have the sole intention of using it on an officer of the law. More paranoid moonbat nonsense!!!

As a retired police officer, I would prefer to carry the Five SeveN (should I choose to carry), and with the production of any frangible bullet, would consider it's high capacity mag as a top reason for a self defense weapon.
