A retired federal agent rehired by ICE as part of Kristi Noem’s mass recruitment push accidentally discharged his gun in a hotel room, firing one round through the wall that came to rest in the headboard of the bed in the room next door.

Buildings here can also be made of concrete or brick but normally interior walls are drywall and timber.

Bullets penetrate wood and drywall easier than bodies. This is why home defense rounds normally have lower penetrating power.

The real take away here is not the wall composition, but the fact that armed idiots with blanket immunity are shooting off their firearms inside.

It’s so American that we need special ammo because our buildings aren’t built well.

Why do you believe filling interior dividing spaces with bulky and heavy materials should be considered "building well"?
