    As opposed to what I hope the conversation to be, something like, "Oh yeah, sorry man. I work as an investigator for the county prosecutor, and while none of us like it the prosecutor will probably take exception if your stuff is inventoried. We hate it too, no hard feelings, just the way it is."

    ETA: Just to make sure, this was after LEOSA was amended to cover ammunition?
    I didn't feel any brotherly love from his end of the conversation. This was years ago.

    And since we're well past weaponizing Aspergers here, why are they called hollow points? You cannot have a hollow point - it is "literally" an oxymoron...


    Perhaps the only thing less convincing than appealing to authority is making ad hominem attacks. But since we're appealing to authority, I'd wager courts would assume a Merriam Webster definition more closely matches the intent of legislators than a definition from an expert no one outside the gun community knows.

    Or maybe you prefer the Cambridge English Dictionary:

    dumdum bullet
    noun [ C ]
    UK /ˈdʌm.dʌm ˌbʊl.ɪt/ US /ˈdʌm.dʌm ˌbʊl.ɪt/
    (also dumdum)
    a bullet with a soft front that increases in size when it hits someone, causing serious injuries
    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/.../dumdum-bullet


    Or how about the Collins English Dictionary:

    dumdum (ˈdʌmˌdʌm)
    n
    (Firearms, Gunnery, Ordnance & Artillery) a soft-nosed or hollow-nosed small-arms bullet that expands on impact and inflicts extensive laceration. Also called: dumdum bullet
    [C19: named after Dum-Dum, town near Kolkata (Calcutta) where these bullets were made]
