If it makes sense to you that only the police should have guns and body armor, but at the same time the police are all evil in your eyes...you might be a Democrat. :)
Its not about fighting crime. Its all about maintaining supremacy over the masses when they decide theyve had enough of corruption.
I know your post is tongue in cheek but how does this make anyone besides our elected officials any safer?
The entire notion is stupid, but an FBI check? Lord knows they’d never do anything contrary to the Constitution... /S
“Maybe I dont want to get shot by the FBI when they find out Im a republican.”
What, you done want to be a trophy kill when it becomes delorable season?
“require FBI permission before anyone except law enforcement could buy what he termed sophisticated body armor,”
Why exempt law enforcement? No problem with them wearing it on the job but why are they allowed special protections?
My body amour never hurt anyone. I demand you leave it alone.
What next, make it illegal to get gas masks so the can more easily put down a peoples rebellion?
Ummmm why? Why should body armor be restricted at all? How does restricting its usage protect anybody?
I have taken body armor off of or found felons weating and possessing body armor multiple times.
In my state (Washington) there is now against felons possessing this gear.
I cannot recall a single time that the feds have picked up a case in my jurisdiction and prosecuted a felon in possession of body armor.
I was admiring how light my aluminum ladder was recently.
Aren’t football uniforms body armor?
They sure do like to use them to inflict injury on the opposing team.
I can maybe understand the left’s idiotic reasoning for “assault weapon” banning, even though I do not agree with it.
But just what in the hubs of Hell justifies restricting the sale of body armor? This is not an offensive tool, it’s strictly defensive.
I can see new signs up where lefties have gun free zones. There will now be signs that say “Body Armor Free Zones”. We will have to get concealed or open carry body armor permits. We cannot have the ones with pistol grips or magazines that carry more than 10 parts of armor.
What’s next on the list to be banned, home security cameras? Privacy fencing? Safe rooms? Knives? Bow/Arrows? Night vision devices? Why not just cut to the chase and ban the right to privacy and the right to life and just start marching us to the concentration camps with those special ovens that do not bake bread.
What level of Kevlar does schmucky get to wear when he makes a public appearance?
Almost every person in Chicago should wear body armor.
Anyone know how many people were killed by unlawful gunfire this weekend in Chicago?
What, the major media didn’t tell you?
Trump should tell Obama to go back to Chicago.
A better question would be, "What percentage of shootings are done with the shooter wearing body armor?"
Less than +/- 1%?
It's only about showing you care to your ignorant electorate and to attempt to take advantage of a crisis in order to incrementally take away citizen's rights. Period.
Im not going to ask the corrupt as Hell FIB anything or for permission for anything.
Keep your Corruptocrats to yourself, Schmucky.
So, a Kevlar vest that I can now legally purchase, if I am a security guard, or say a tow truck driver in a sketchy neighborhood, would require the equivalent of a federal background check?
What about if I buy Kevlar cloth on Amazon (they do sell it) and sew my own body armor? Would that be like manufacturing an illegal firearm? Oh, and does body armor have a serial number so it can be traced?
Finally, what is “body armor?” Seriously, I can buy a welding Kevlar neck/chest protector. Is that “body armor?” What about Kevlar gloves? Is that “body armor?” Sounds like a slippery slope to me
Inquiring minds want to know just how stupid our knee jerk Legislators really are.
