New Bill Outlaws Body Armor

The Second Amendment of the Constitution affords every American the right to bear arms. But can US citizens own protective body armor? At least ONE Congressman doesn’t think so.

Two weeks ago, you didn’t know where Ferguson Missouri was. Now, it’s dominating headlines all over the world. Part of that is because a white police officer shot an unarmed black teenager in the middle of the street. Part of that is because witnesses nearby said the victim had his hands up in the air, a claim that sparked violent protests between angry demonstrators and scared police. And part of that is because news stations all over the country EXPLOITED Michael Brown’s death to FURTHER EXPRESS their worn-out POLITICALLY-charged rhetoric.

NOW, as the dust starts to settle, the JUSTICE system is taking over. Everyone else is left to sit and wonder WHAT would happen if a SIMILAR riot broke out in their home town.

One of the ONLY POSITIVE takeaways from the whole event is the increased scrutiny on police militarization. During the FRENZY of activity, a QUIET bill, proposed by a California Democrat just three weeks ago, is now out in the open.

Congressman Mike Honda wants to outlaw any citizen from buying body armor. Not assault rifles. Not explosives. Armor. Protective gear. A shield, of sorts. YOU know, the thing that STOPS bullets from KILLING someone.

This new bill doesn’t discriminate, either. It treats EVERY citizen as a potential CRIMINAL. It would effectively STRIP law abiding citizens down to their bare skin, should a gun fight break out. Honda’s feeble attempt to disguise his law as a safety precaution is ANYTHING but safe. It is a CLEAR and BLATANT attempt to further weaken the average American citizen.

Honda thinks buying body armor should be a CRIMINAL offense, one that could land you in JAIL for up to TEN YEARS. Similar leaders in history to outlaw body armor include Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and North Korea’s Kim Jong Il.
