Just when you’re convinced these people couldn’t get any whackier—they reach new and unimagined depths.

I wonder is it’s actual armor, or does this also include things like plate carriers sans plates.

We’re going from unarmed to unprotected . . .

That's alarming. The picking and choosing of the people more equal than others (Animal Farm) for exemptions is bad.

The excellent NRA ad with the woman who left Venezuela is a classic. She said the government took all our guns away and said that would make everybody safer but the criminals and the gangs and the police still had their guns and they terrorized us all and we had nothing to protect ourselves.

Politicians, oligarchs, celebrities, and their families, will be among those permitted to own body armor.

Doesn't matter what the bill says. Exceptions will be made for the above.

Glad I got out of that festering $hithole in 1976. Used to go back regularly to see business clients until about 2017. I resist going there now because I don’t want them getting 1 cent of my money in sales taxes or anything.

While their deranged body armor bill won’t affect me, I’m glad I just bought some concealed armor with Level 3 protection that I can wear under my shirt. Said to stop most common handgun rounds. For the rifle rounds I do have a hard armor carrier, but it looks like an assault vest so I’ll only wear that during Armageddon.

The Hell-Hole States want to lose even more population, apparently.

Anything to make the public less protected. = Dim motto.

The bill also makes it a felony to commit violence with a firearm while wearing body armor.

Then why penalize law-abiding citizens? Just leave it at that.

Crime would go down if law enforcement could do their jobs and we had honest district attorneys and honest judges who cared about the rule of law. Instead we have do-nothing, yakkking politicians.

Well, if cops are going to be trained to just shoot violent assailants in the legs, why should we care about armor?

I thought that it was all about safety? It appears that not only do the liberals want to disarm you, they want to ensure you are completely helpless.

I wouldn’t want that hitting me center mass and seeing if it works.
