More Protective MAGA Helmets Now Available For Trump Supporters Brave Enough To Go Out In Public

**SNIP**

“Want to go to the store in your MAGA hat, but afraid of being assaulted, having water thrown on you, or getting smacked with a baseball bat?” Trump says in a promo video on the website. “The MAGA helmet is for you. I’ve gotta say, I’ve seen lots of tactical helmets in my day. This one’s the best. Tremendous stuff.”

The helmets are said to be “almost guaranteed” to protect any Trump supporter from mobs at the local Whole Foods market, Starbucks, or other place generally considered to be unsafe for conservatives. As a disclaimer on the website reads, “While no helmet can protect you from injuries 100%, wearing our MAGA helmet will greatly increase your chances of surviving a violent encounter.”

After buying it you might as well egg & key your own car. Only some get true freedom of speech.

Countering physical assaults is the function of MAGA sidearms...

Great idea. And some cry baby leftist stooge won’t be able to simply take your hat and run off into the crowd.

Situational awareness plus cocked and locked is the proper way.

We have started wearing our MAGA hats daily. No problems yet. I think everyone should wear one and get the snowflakes running for cover. Imagine seas of red hats.

I had to get a second one because I wore the first one out.

I live in Maryland, although in a red area. I’ve never had a negative comment. Plenty of positive ones.

Here in the People’s Republic of Socialist Delaware, I wear my hat openly and without fear. Only ONE a$$hole made a negative comment. Blacks and whits, male and female, young and old - all positive comments.

Now if we could only convert that to votes, there might be some hope.

"It should have a video cam incorporated in it."

incorporated into the body would be best, but there are plenty of small battery powered cams that will attach to the side. If the cam had a blinking red light to show ON, it would give some hesitation to the scumbags.

Even though a satire, things are coming to the point of this type of protection needed for those who will wade into the Antifas. There are also body cams like LEO wear which would be less visible in the right clothing. Wish I was younger and in my past shape, I'd be right there the next time they try their crap at UCI in Irvine, CA.

Here's something for those who confront the commie anarchists or for basic defense: The ZAP Blast Knuckles is a 950,000 volt stun gun designed to give you a punch with power, it features a safety switch and rubber grip for full control..

Depending on State law, they are legal, effective, easy to use, have a easy use holster, and can't be knocked or wrenched out of your hand like a normal taser. I had 2 of them when I was still a street activist and was riding at biker bars. Pulled it once when some large bully wanted to mess with me for no reason. Flipped the safety off with the thumb, pull the trigger and the sound and huge spark was enough to make him back off. Gave me time to walk quickly away. Usually, just carried it in my front pocket and not the holster.

Illegal or restricted in only 13 States or local jurisdictions as follows depending if a taser or stun gun:

Illegal States and Cities: Hawaii, Michigan, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, District of Columbia, Chicago, IL, Denison/Crawford County, IA, and all US Virgin Islands. (We do not ship to the above states and cities.)

Legal with Restrictions States: Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. (We gladly ship to the above states if you qualify.)

Legal in the following States:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

The above is regarding stun guns. Tasers have different requirements in different jurisdictions. Suggest you look into your State and local laws for the difference and legality.

It's time to defend ourselves.

Imagine seas of red hats.

It would be like a reverse of Paul Revere's ride. The Red Hat's are coming! The Red Hat's are coming!

Then it would be a sea of melted snowflakes which would soon turn into small puddles and disappear. :)

Ahhh... if it were only that easy eh.

"Not funny, not humorous, not parody, not exaggeration or satire. Pathetic and disgusting. Anti American and supportive of the enemy. Irresponsible."

Seriously, why? Is this your attempt at satire or do you not understand how dangerous the socialist/commie/anarchists are becoming? They are getting more emboldened from the rhetoric of their commie professors and their political leaders like Maxine Waters and others.

I am the last person who wants to see the initial deaths of a new civil war. However, like the Sgt-Major said in the movie We Were Soldiers, "Gentlemen prepare to defend yourselves!" Yes, it was a movie, but these Antifa types are organizing and have already attacked Trump supporters and will continue to grow if not countered in some way that hurts. It's obvious that local LE no longer wants to confront them. Look at how LE backs away from riots.

Legal thought: In most jurisdictions the threat of Assault (if just words or menacing actions) gives a person the right to defend themselves if they think their life or limb is in jeopardy. ALWAYS use that term if confronted by LE. Then shut up.

It's past time to defend ourselves against these threats of assault, not to mention actual physical battery that has happened will continue.

See my post above regarding stun guns and tasers.

"I’m ordering one with the pepper spray dispenser."

Haha if you're joking. Pepper spray is the least deterrent in a conflict. Many LE agencies have given it up for tasers. See my post above about stun guns and tasers.

Not easy but the point is we can’t just cower in fear. Strength in numbers and they would be less likely to pull the hat off someone like they do if 100 more red hats were in the area.

Make them panic as panicked people make more mistakes.

950,000 volts?
Is that all?
I have one that puts out 1.5.million volts...and it’s disguised to look like a camera.

Oh; I’m all or it. Bring on the Red Hats. Mine is hanging on my hat rack as I type this. Strength in numbers plus we have ‘right’ on our side. All they have is a mental defect.
