There is no class of bullets that only kill cops. Cheney was voting for armour piercing bullets. For the ignorant like you, these are thin slivers of hardened steel inside the lead and covered with a full metal jacket. The lead front hits a target and expands, the metal jacket expands like a lever propelling the sharp thin cylinder of steel with a whip like motion through amazing things, like engine blocks, and tank sides, and police armour. They are banned by my local rifle range because they totally destroy the equipment used to hold the targets. Cheney thinks it is important for every punk on the streets to own and use this ammunition. TP

CHENEY ON GUN CONTROL Richard Cheney is going to have a difficult time explaining to the Million Moms and to the American people his record on gun control when the vice presidential candidates debate in Danville, Ky. Source for the following: issues2000.org. (Note that the term "cop-killer" bullets was used by issues2000.org.) Cheney was one of just 21 members of Congress in 1985 to vote against a ban on armor piercing “cop killer” bullets. In 1988, he was one of only 4 members voting against a ban on plastic guns that could slip through airport security machines undetected. The National Rifle Association did not oppose this ban. Also in 1988, Cheney voted to scrap a proposed national seven-day waiting period on handgun purchases. Those votes were cast 15 years ago, said Cheney. “If you look at [Bush’s] package, there are provisions there that make sense,” he added, voicing support for the mandatory sale of trigger locks and tougher enforcement of existing gun laws."
