[Edwardteach72]

Looks like someone in the house introduced a bill to ban anything over level III body armor for surfs to own.. wonder why we can own level III but not IV

Another illegal act by our government

Because level IV would stop rounds used by the gov.

Give it a week and the totalitarians will be in full song. Nothing scarier than scared fascists...

I predict a mass shooting this year with the shooter wearing body armor ...

Somebody I know ordered a set from ar500 when they were having their Black Friday sale, he just told me that to due shipping errors he probably won't have it until sometime in March even though it was supposed to be to him before the end of 2020. I hope that doesn't screw it up for him.

Already got level IV. If you really want it you better get in now before it's too late. And by now I mean right NOW.

I’m afraid by now those who don’t have it might not get it .

It wouldnt be too hard to get your own ar500 targets and have them cut and bent to a shape you like.

Summary of H.R.4568 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Responsible Body Armor Possession Act

www.congress.gov

This bill prohibits the purchase, ownership, or possession of enhanced body armor by civilians. Enhanced body armor refers to body armor, including a helmet or shield, the ballistic resistance of which meets or exceeds the ballistic performance of Type III armor, determined using the National Institute of Justice standard.

The bill provides exceptions for (1) the purchase, ownership, or possession by or under the authority of the United States or any state or political subdivision; (2) qualified law enforcement officers; and (3) enhanced body armor that was lawfully possessed before the effective date of the bill.

A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both.

I ordered the same time. It just shipped.

Wouldnt hurt to buy extra now if you can.

I'm mulling some level 4s.

The ar500 order was actually for a family member. Better than nothing.

Isn't this an old bill? Sorry for large font above,phone won't paste it smaller.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Damn touche I should have vetted the source I saw it on who posted it as new and looked at the date. That was/is my bad

 

[Shadow2]

Old bill or not they are trying to do this in NY RIGHT NOW>
So how does banning body armor promote public safety exactly ? I'd love to here how an item that posses no actual threat is a safety issue. You cant get any more literal with equal protection under the law then this.
