Police leaders have joined with the Brady Campaign and Brady Center to sound an alarm to law enforcement professionals around the country about a new handgun available to the general public that is capable of firing bullets through soft police body armor. They are also calling for Congress to take steps to deal with the threat the gun poses.
Staff of the Brady Campaign recently purchased the weapon at a Virginia gun dealer and test-fired it. The bullets successfully penetrated a police Kevlar vest. The gun, the Five-SeveN handgun manufactured by FN Herstal of Belgium, is lightweight and easily concealable. It is marketed by the company on its website as intended "to defeat the enemy in all close combat situations in urban areas, jungle conditions, night missions and any self defense action. Enemy personnel, even wearing body armor can be effectively engaged up to 200 meters. Kevlar® helmets and vests as well as the CRISAT protection will be penetrated."
The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, International Association of Chiefs of Police and International Brotherhood of Police Officers are joining with the Brady Center to alert police nationwide about the gun and urge Congress to take appropriate action.
All of this is in reference to the FN - Five seveN....
What a bunch of SH*T
