“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?”
There’s already an arms race, and we are losing. Pretending it doesn’t exist won’t make it go away.
Honda continues to try to disarm the people he holds responsible for defeating his countrymen - Japan - in WWII.
Born in a Relocation camp, he still harbors nothing but hate and resentment for America.
So he wants us vulnerable to attack.
Soon he’ll be banning leathernecks so that John the Headchopper won’t have any worries when he comes for us.
Body armor is part of “arms” protected by the second amendment.
I may like the way body armor looks. . . I may want to wear mine to church on Sunday. The government needs to back off big time!!!!
armor is just another form of ‘arm’ which we have a right to bear
When a Government becomes concerned that it’s civilians are becoming too hard to kill, the people should take acute notice...
Because cops aren't civilians any more?
Ah, the VPC performs its usual sleight of hand with the truth. As the author points out, neither of the murderers cited was wearing the stuff they’re trying to regulate. The VPC is simply lying about the thing in order to pursue a political agenda. Again.
“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.”
I can not in any way argue with your logic. I can only point out that you are not the first one to say figure this out.
“Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry” -Thomas Jefferson
Absolutely!
Of course his armor wasn't exactly stylish or unobtrusive but it you're out to do some killin' armor is armor.
The fact is that mass shooters tend to fold immediately, or even commit suicide at the first whiff of armed resistance. I won’t spend my time typing out all the obvious examples, just look it up. Consequently they don’t have a reason to wear body armor (I can’t think of any that have worn it) and even if they did it wouldn’t matter since they never engage in a stand up fight with an armed person.
Yep. I look at it this way: if the time ever comes when I need it, some nice federal thug will be delivering it to me on his back.
But not for HIM, right?
Interesting that when politicians name bills, the names are always the exact opposite of what the bills actually do.
The body armor manufacturers association of America thanks you Mr. Honda!
‘zackly.
Yes, just hose it off and let air-dry. Good as new.
Roger that.
That ‘bout sums it up.
