When he really means "The Body Armor Non-Possession Act."
Time to buy some is now.
When a Government becomes concerned that it’s civilians are becoming too hard to kill, the people should take acute notice...
Will the EXEMPT and their Staff be EXEMPT, again “? [/s]”.
There is no reason this type of armor, which is designed for warfare, should be available in our communities except for those who need it, like law enforcement,
If the government has it, and doesn’t want us private citizens to have it, then we need it. That’s the basic premise of the 2nd Amendment.
So the real target isn't criminals, it is political opponents. Who could've seen that one coming? < / sarcasm >
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
Because when an agent of the government shoots you,
you just gotta die!
Demorats always want to do some BS thing. Fortunately most of the time they don’t succeed.
Feinslime wants to go door to door and pick up all guns. Well to be accurate she doesn’t want to she wants to send out some stasi to do the dirty work.
The list is endless.
sadly, my full set was in the canoe with all my firearms when it capsized.
The average active shooter incident lasts what, about 10 minutes? It’s usually over, without a shootout before LE even arrives on the scene. Plus like so many other things, a resourceful person could make body armor in their garage.
Yea he wouldn’t be able to get body armor just like people can’t get illegal drugs.
What’s next?
No armored vehicles?
No bullet proof glass?
Houses must be paper thin for convenience of SWAT?
And on and on.
Honestly I don’t think this law would even pass the Rational Basis test if challenged in court.
These clowns need to stop trying to control is by regulating inanimate objects and leave us the hell alone.
Any society is going to have crime and problems, but the government is more likely to make them worse than fixing them.
Is the house back from vacation?

I personally have no need for body armor, but the Congressman is a statist, full of crap, and should not be in office. I don’t think the police should be able to own anything that a civilian can’t own, and anything prohibited to civilians should be prohibited to them. Adherence to that principle might bring back some sanity. I’m not a cop hater, but like many I’m concerned about attitudes and tactics of police these days. Cops should be well trained and equipped, but it seems that they need to give more importance to civil liberties. I don’t care at all for the proliferation of SWAT teams who seem to operate in too many circumstances like the Marines attacking a pillbox on Tarawa.
“I want to ban armed bodyguards for all public officials.”
Can you imagine what would happen if Congress cut funds for the Secret Service?
Playing Devil’s Advocate. Wouldn’t that just encourage the further militarization of the Police? If citizens become more and more armed themselves, doesn’t it after awhile start to devolve into a kind a “Arms Race” between Citizens and Police?
