Look. It’s time. Mexico wants California. Let them have it.

I can not think of any reason why law enforcement should be allowed to have any equipment that is forbidden to a regular citizen.

I said this on a related thread, but bears repeating:
When a Government becomes concerned that its civilians are becoming too hard to kill, the people should take acute notice...

Level IIIa soft body armor is the same, but will also purportedly stop a .44 magnum or an Uzi.Unless I'm confused, Uzis use (most of them) rather anemic cartridges. Certainly a LOT less powerful than a .44.

Don’t they usually use 9mm Luger like a pistol?

This bill will keep military body armor out of the wrong hands, Honda said. It would ensure that only select officially sanctioned and politically vetted law enforcement praetorian guard, and criminals survive to prey on the helpless population in a faceoff!”
Fixed it.

We’ve had a couple of bank robberies where the perps are wearing heavy body armor and have much higher fire power in their gns.
A local gn store just handed guns over the counter to help the police. The police should be able to protect themselves from criminals.

“...assuming Honda can even get it to a vote.”
In Bizarro World every absurd concept comes to the floor for a vote. Eventually it passes and is signed into law by the Governor. You can’t fix stupid.

I think so, though they’re chambered for several other rounds like .45 ACP.

You are absolutely correct. But to the douche bags sucking the junk of gun control an UZI is tantamount to using a Nuke.

Dont they usually use 9mm Luger like a pistol? 9mm Parabellum, yes. The Uzi is also available in .45 ACP. The .44 magnum revolver cartridge is considerably more powerful than either.
My question to the the sponsor of this is, is there a problem needing legislation? When was the last time this sort of body armor was used in a crime? The North Hollywood shootout was more than 15 years ago.
To: 2ndDivisionVet; Sherman Logan
Are you guys seriously taking an article written by "Jazz Shaw" as gospel?
Of course the 9mm Uzi has nowhere near the penetration of a .44 magnum or similar round. You know it, I know it, but idiots like "Jazz" don't even know which direction to load a round into a magazine.

Were talking about body armor that is designed for warfare, designed
to protect against law enforcement ammunitions. And when the SHTF that's probably who we'll need to protect ourselves from.
To many gung-ho punks in uniforms as it is. Give them stress and they'll be
committing mass murder and getting away with it by just saying "I felt threatened".
No problem, the 500 armor is good and it's affordable. Israel sells great armor also
that can be installed in vehicles.
