It is really rather simple....If you are a violent felon ( one of the bad guys) you may not own body armor...
Look most those who were arrested were selling guns ILLEGALLY. I do not have to justify the law nor was that my point. Folks were suggesting that some how nice innocent gun sellers were being picked on by the ATF ( an organization I am not terribly fond of to begin with). But to suggest that arresting the bad guys is wrong just because it was done by the ATF is stupid beyond all belief. And the law is not a county law it is a federal law...came about after that nasty firefight in LA where two guys who had a felonious hiostory decided to put on armor and load up with firearms and rob a bank...perhaps you watched it on TV perhaps you didn't. It was horrific. I am not interested in defending the bad guys when they are in fact out to do harm to those who are the good guys
