Reply #64: Strictly speaking, "dum dum" bullets are soft point .303 British

[Euromutt]

It's named for the town of Dum Dum near Calcutta, which is where the arsenal that developed them was located. Nothing to do with the bullet being "dumbed out" or any other relation to the word "dumb." Do you own damn homework before you accuse others of not doing theirs.

And if you want to bitch at somebody for supposedly "starting a public arms race," why don't you take it up with the violent criminals first? I'm sure you can make them see the error of their ways, and how they're polluting society. And once the violent crime figures drop to zero, I suspect very few of us "toters" will bother to continue "toting."
