Hollow points are for the safety of innocent bystanders by limiting penetration after they hit something solid. This is widely known and understood.

Hollow points don't shoot through people, whereas solid slugs do. Hollow points are the most damaging for only the 1 target, because it dissipates all the damage upon impact.

I think you're misinformed. People use hollow points to reduce over-penetration that occurs with a FMJ bullet

Do you really think the type of bullet matters? A bullet is a projectile whose sole purpose is to penetrate the human body at subsonic or supersonic speeds. The original commenter was advocating for carrying and using weapons that fire these bullets against innocent people. To me that's just depravity.

>Do you really think the type of bullet matters?

We don't think, we know.

>A bullet is a projectile whose sole purpose is to penetrate the human body at subsonic or supersonic speeds.

Not even remotely true. There are bullets whose sole purpose is to penetrate paper targets accurately.

>The original commenter was advocating for carrying and using weapons that fire these bullets against innocent people.

Wrong, it was advocacy for carrying and using weapons that fire bullets against guilty felons.

>To me that's just depravity.

To those based in reality, it's a right to self-defense.

"lethal weapon loaded with the most damaging kind of ammunition on other people."

I mean clearly you though it mattered, so I was telling you why people prefer scary sounding hollow point ammo over FMJs.

A weapon used in self-defense is by definition against someone who is not innocent. The original comment was suggesting defense, not offense.
