Another full retard bill. Did the Oregon shooter even have body armor? Or was it, like Aurora a tactical vest?

they always try to push shit like this through any chance they get a tragedy they can exploit.

people always say the NRA is in line with gun companies. What if the liberal anti gunners really were? Think about it, everytime they open their mouth, costs go up. We already know anti gunners like dealing in the ILLEGAL arms trade.

 

[atilla]

that's pretty foil-y.

they are the best gun salesmen after all

Ban something that protects and saves your life...If I didn't know any better I would swear these people calling for more safety bans hate these cans...



Oh and by the way **** you and your bans...

 

[Tallen]

The individual citizen is the smallest political subdivision. If a state would declare it so, then goodbye NFA and other tyrannical acts like this proposition.

So it will be against the law to make it difficult for the government to kill you?

A lot of legislation is called for and passed in the heat of the moment, when emotions are running high and rationale is nowhere to be seen.

Exploiting tragedies to pass your agenda is pretty sickening.

I never see people who identify as Democrats--or progressive or liberal-- calling for change in laws when stories about children being killed or raped by foster parents get picked up in the news. But yikes, a gun gets involved and suddenly they care.

They all want a prohibition on civilian ownership, whether they admit to it or not. tTheir utopian fantasy certainly includes nofirearms.

They'll accept more regulation and pretend like that's good enough for now, but we know better. And so don't they, even if they are deluding themselves in order to lie to us better.

At least if they ban it we'll never worry about it again, because it's not like people can make effective body armor out of ceramic tiles, phone books, duct tape, and fiberglass resin...

This smacks of Reagan's Machine Gun Act of 1986. He was shot with a revolver, so let's ban machine guns! Wait? Wha...?

Eh, not really how the Hughes Amendment came to be, lol.

FOPA was a pretty pro-2A bill that clarified things from GCA '68.

Until some douchebag liberal attached the poison pill at the last second.

How do you ban them?

I guess I'll just have to use the door to my woodstove

You know funny you say that but I had the same thought the other day.

FYI Aurora actually was body armor, not a tactical vest

I'm good. Maybe time for another GB on plates and carriers for those who missed the last one.

yep already looked up AR500 prices, it does seem like their prices went up a bit. I could of sworn the plates were a bit cheaper

Says the tag on the International Armor brand body armor he was wearing which was presented as evidence by the Colorado DA during trial. It was manufactured 11 days prior to the shooting. Not that it should have any effect on legislation, just a fact from the case. The Blackhawk vest was worn over it

ah, gotcha.

Again, the question needs to be asked: what existing, statistically-relevant problem are you trying to solve?

No one needs body armor and only the police and military need body armor are not examples of problems.

How are they going to ban something that can be made, buy a sheet of AR500 from a steel supply or a few drops from a large fab shop that works on heavy Eqp. Take that down to a water jet or plasma guy, have him cut the profile. Spray with some rubber bed liner and install it into a vest.

Say you bought it years ago, how are they going to tell. AR500 is what I used daily and can be bought and cut in a basement garage if you wanted to, it will take some more time but can be done.

Jason.

 

[wmassregulators]

in before a sheet of ar500 = constructive intent

 

[Terminator03]

Here's a decent deal on some soft armor. It's marketed as a backpack type of shield, but could be used for vests and other purposes too.

Funny how law makers and enforcers do not need to adhere to the laws.
I'm not thrilled with the lack of law abiding enforcers.

yep, and those laws extend to even when they are no longer enforcers which should be a violation of the 14th amendment but hey we already violate several so what is a few more
