As much as I dislike the senior senator from New York, I like the opportunity to make arguments for arms-based civil liberties that encompass more than just guns. Body armor is a great example. I also think that freedom to access chemical sprays, blunt objects, knives, flashlights, lasers, HPM, malware, and night vision should regularly be discussed as being inside of our Second Amedment liberties.
I’ve been watching a lot of InRange TV, lately, and have become armor-curious. The pint about soft armor in a pistol class is very well made.

The basic technological precursor (firearms) for the AR-15 existed at the time of the writing of the Second Amendment whereas the technological precursors for lasers, computer malware/programs, flashlights, and night vision did not exist at that time. It would be very much an uphill fight trying to argue that the framers of the Constitution knew of or anticipated the creation of such technology and that they knowingly drafted the Second Amendment intending to cover that technology.
I am very much an originalist/textualist myself, but I am not tremendously optimistic about the likelihood of successful incorporation of electronic technology under Second Amendment protection.

When I do wear armor, I use two layers from two vests into one with the trauma plate.
Schumer is an idiot, an anti-American, anti-freedom zealot. You would think a jew would know better.

You know. It has to be considered....if someone doesn’t want you to wear body armor, it may be because they plan to try and shoot at you someday.
