No, the average rifle WILL go through the 2" stuff at fairly short range

This is one of the reason the NRA gets their shorts in knots whenever someone proposes a law against "ammuntion that can penetrate a bullet proof vest". Almost ALL rifles will do so, including 99% of those used for deer hunting (older lower velocity deer rounds might not - say 30-30 (maybe) and 45-70). What that law does is effectively outlaw rifles. A good idea, but a flawed way to do things
