Liberals cannot tolerate people taking care of themselves. If you have a problem, they want you to go to the govt.

EconomicPolicyJournal.com: Congress Proposes New Law Prohibiting Citizens from Buying Body Armor

Aug 21, 2014
H.R. 5344 is a bill currently going through Congress that would ban the purchase of body armor.

Violation would carry CRIMINAL penalties, including up to ten years in prison.

Many bullet-resistant items on the market now, such as bulletproof backpacks for school children, would be banned by this legislation.

This is incredible given that the legislation is all about banning something that is purely defensive.

Whatever your stance on firearms, I hope we can agree that it’s pretty damn difficult to hurt another human being with body armor.

People buy body armor for protection. That’s the point. Duh.

The bill has only 3 sponsors, and almost no chance of getting out of committee.

Considering how many vests and other items are already out there it would be worthless even if this law had a chance of passing.

And yet...they still try...

The anti-2nd amendment types never rest, and they never stop...

Maybe it won't pass now but it's coming. In two years it will pass.

Oh good, yet another banned item creating a whole new crimimal cottage industry of cheap knock offs that don't actually work.

The radio reports this effort is back, led by Sen. Chuck U. Schumer.

The idea of forcing the citizens into such peril, with no means of defense at all- and no way to return firm in similar to the liberal idea of genocide.

If you are in peril, call the government and wait for them to come save you!
