>Or that armor-piercing bullets
should be legal?<

How do you define an armor-piercing bullet? Do we use the military's definition, or do we let some civil litigant make it up as we go? Any projectile is to some degree armor-piercing. It is a basic consequence of physics.
I worry that the term will be as roundly and bald-facedly abused as "assault weapon". This used to mean "selective-fire rifle or carbine issued to ground troops" but now means little more than "gun".
