I think it's better to review the facts than let the antis have the last word.

This is nothing new that is not out there already. The media and anti's want to sensationalize everything if it sounds bad. Just like the box of Black Talon .357's I still have. These were deemed 'cop killers' back in the early 90's; nothing but a bunch of hyped up publicity about nothing special because of evil black coating that had mystical powers. In reality, the black coating was Lubalox and was to protect the barrel rifling, and did not give the bullet armor-piercing capabilities like the anti's tried to make out it did. The publicity in the media caused Olin (Winchester) to pull them from production. They still manufacture the exact same bullet in the SXT (some say it means 'Same 'Xact Thing) line today, just without the black Lubalox.

The problem always comes in when you realize that there are pistols made to fire most types of rifle ammunition. That tends to make that definition cover everything.

Nope, read the red part. .223/5.56 is NOT primarily designed for use in pistols and handguns. .38, .44, .45 is designed for pistols as well as 5.7 x 28 rounds.
