    Since when has the FBI added "regulatory agency" duties to their charter as a limited scope (federal crimes) investigative agency?

    Ol' Chuck-Ducky Schumer is sure one helluva a "one trick pony" ain't he?

    Seemingly, his answer to everything that he dislikes or disapproves is, "Ban it."

    I just bought new Level IV plates. Not because they want to ban it, but because armor has never been cheaper. Ok so maybe the fact the Chuck Schumer's of the world don't want me to have body armor may have played a tiny part.

    Its not a problem when police have it. It becomes an issue when mass shooters start wearing it.
    While its a libertarian issue, its not a Second Amendment issue.

    “The shooter wore body armor”

    The news calls everything body amor. Chest rig, photo vest, Christmas sweater. Doesn’t matter.


    Agree isn’t gun related. It is very much freedom related. I’m sick to death of defending myself for things I didn’t do

    While I don't own any I would still like to have the option to buy it if I felt a need to.

    Why would anyone presume that I'm about to shoot up a crowd of people if I purchased body armor?

    The next thing you know 511 pants will be regulated.

    I have to do that all the time. The wife says I didn't put the dishes in the dish washer. I didn't take out the trash. I didn't use my brain when I dressed myself this morning...

    I believe that you've struck at the crux of the issue, Borderland.

    If it looks scary (has one or more of these qualities: black, nylon, "tacticool", modular, military-derived, etc.), then it is "bad".

    In other words, it's not about "function". It's about "image".

    Turning the lights on BEFORE you get dressed helps with that.

    I opened this hoping it was to give us federal tax credits for buying body armor...
