'cop killers' is a term that is used much the same way that 'assault rifle' is used by the anti set. It's a term used to incite fear that an item has only a specific sinister purpose.
The reality is that any big game rifle round is a 'cop killer', meaning that it has the energy to penetrate most level 1 and 2 types of body armor, those usually worn by police officers. Some handgun rounds also have this ability, but since police are usually the 'only ones' to wear body armor, they get called 'cop killers'.

It's all in how you have to deal with it. New federal regs/laws have to be lobbied for or against using US reps/senators while state regs/laws have to be lobbied for/against with state reps and senators. The main separation though is a TX state law does not affect an OK state law, whereas a federal law encompass' all 50 states

roachboy, i've got to go back to your statement about about not altering gun laws at all. Did you miss this part about the hearings?
