Rep. Honda announces bill to ban civilians from military-grade body armor

[Moonbeam]

My body armor is actually art so I'm OK. I wear it instead of tattoos.

 

[Moonbeam]

Right, cops.

If the law passes cops should take a cut in pay because of reduced hazard.

 

[Drako]

Honda is a jingoistic luddite.

Two words: California Democrat. Nuff said. There is just something about California Democrats. They're a special kind of idiots.

 

[Zodiark1593]

Hardly. Just see the above posts by halfwits like Jhnmhmhnnn.

Ehh, my apologies. I didn't know troll posts were considered a valid opinion. :hmm:

Since body armor's purpose is to protect your body and not inflict harm, one would think Politicians would try to get people to buy those instead of guns. Two-faced pricks they are...

There is no enumerated right to body armor period. But a proposal to ban it is stupid nonetheless.

Nor is there an enumerated right to an abortion. Your point?

What shotgun blows through body armor?

Depends totally on the ammo. Check out this tasty morsel (very awesome link iidssm http://www.theboxotruth.com/the-box-o-truth-16-level-iiia-armor/

Early-term abortion has been tested. High-tech body armor has not.

Has no bearing on enumerated rights. I guess the fact the patent poster made the wrong argument went right over your head?

Liberal response: What do you need _______ for?!?!!?

 

[OutHouse]

"This bill will keep military body armor out of the wrong hands,

lol wtf, no it wont. I am convinced politicians live in a alternate universe.

 

[MrCassdin]

I really have no problem with people buying body armor. I read a study by the FBI a few years ago that almost no crimes are committed by people wearing body armor.

The ones you buy at stores will blow through body armor. Shotguns made in shop class might have some issues.

shotgun vs steel

Because they can't get it easily. There may already be a lot of state laws against civilians owning body armor.

No, there aren't.

Because it's expensive. If you're trying to stick up a gas station, odds are you don't have $5k to drop on some military grade armor.

Most armed robberies are committed with low grade, inexpensive guns.

Steel and ballistic composite aren't designed for the same things. SAPI plates are rated for multiple hits from 7.62 nato.

 

[who?]

No, there aren't.

I forgot those laws are about felons or violent felons and not just everybody.

Number of police killed or shot by civilians wearing military grade body armor?
Number of civilians accidentally killed or shot by police?


WHO needs the body armor???

How many civilians are going to wear clunky body armor with optional plates all day every day even when they sleep just in case the police accidentally shoot them just then?

When you put on body armor; it's generally because you're expecting to get shot...

That certainly is no legitimate reason to ban it.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

That wasn't the question

How many civilians died from grenades?

Don't ask stupid questions. Body armor harms noone unless it pulls the hairs out of your nads when you take it off.

Another dumb ass Libtard!

Centerfire rifle ammo, assholes!
