A SCHOOL in Southern CALIFORNIA that had to order ARs for protection...

Of course Yahoo wants to paint them as REALLY dangerous.

Fontana Unified School District police purchased 14 of the Colt LE6940 rifles last fall, and they were delivered the first week of December, a week before a gunman killed 26 students and educators at a Connecticut elementary school.
 
"I think it just further solidified the need to give our officers the tools they need to respond to an active shooter on campus," schools Police Chief Billy Green said Wednesday about the tragedy.
 
'If someone were to come onto one of our school campuses and kill our students ... and they were wearing body armor or were equipped with a rifle, our officers were not properly equipped to respond to the danger," Green said.
 
The rifles were purchased to address a "critical vulnerability," although there has never been such an attack at any of the 45 Fontana campuses, the chief said. The 14 officers currently carry handguns, according to police officials.
 
The weapons, which cost $1,000 each, are high-powered weapons that are accurate at longer range and can pierce body armor.
...

The guns did not require approval from the school board but member Leticia Garcia said she will ask the board to discuss the issue. There should have been a public discussion before they were purchased, Garcia said.
 
"Those rifles have ricocheting ammunition ... they can go right through people," Garcia said. "We're talking about a war-zone rifle, and so are we going to militarize our public schools? We have to provide a safe haven for people to learn ... but this, to me, seems a little bit too much."
Anti-gunner Dem? Any bets?
...
The weapons are an uncomfortable but necessary evil, said BarBara L. Chavez, the board's vice president
 
"In my world, everything should be peaceful, we shouldn't hate each other," said the mother of five. "However, that's not the world we're living in. We're living in a violent world, crazies are out there constantly. ... We need to be prepared."

Well IF they REALLY don't want them I'll take them all off their hand for 90% of their cost-they are used after all

Where can I get some ricocheting ammunition that goes through people?

Buy some Federal Lake City Green Tips. She maybe anti-gun, but she ain't wrong here. Hornady 55 grain TAP on the other hand, is a different story.

Any ammunition will ricochet under the right circumstances .
Even frangible .
Some how I don't think TAP will violate the laws of physics . 
So much schooling, so little learning .

And yet you are the pedant here. I was pointing out that military issue AP ammo raises legitimate concerns, whereas purpose built SD rounds will go far in allying those. What's your problem with this?

I figured that people on this board were gun literate enough that I wouldn't have to use small words and write in crayon. You got the point, and I'm sure everyone else did as well.

We call it Ballistic Billiards for Conservatives.

"One shot.  Off the far wall, back to the refrigerator, off the left wall, through the perp, and back into my brass catcher.  $10 says I make it."

It's a great game.  It's better than paintball because there is the possibility that the last ricochet will go through the shooter--so there's that.
