ALBANY – Following the latest deadly mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, and Wednesday’s standoff in Philadelphia, Assemblyman Jonathan Jacobson (D, Newburgh) is introducing legislation in Albany that would ban the use of bulletproof vests by civilians.


Right now, law enforcement officers and a limited number of professions including licensed security guard or licensed armored car driver, may wear vests.

“Currently the law prohibits wearing the bulletproof vests if you are committing a violent felony and you have a firearm, but if you don’t have a firearm and you are wearing a bulletproof vest to protect yourself and you are committing a crime, this rule would not apply,” the assemblyman said. “So, I want to expand it to apply to apply to all types of crimes whether a felony or misdemeanor and whether or not you have a gun because the bulletproof vests used by criminals to embolden themselves to take risks.”

Sheep shouldn't resist slaughter even if the wolves and yotes ignore the farmer.

So I cant have a gun and I also cant have something that will protect me against the criminals who do.

Fuck you, douche.

I would like to see say, Texas pass a law mandating that every classroom have at least enough vests for every student and the teacher.

WTF!!!

Absolutely insane!

Motherfuckers are drunk on the kool-aid now! Bigger parties ahead with the stuff...

Been laying low cause I just can't take the bullshit. Punish the law abiding for the actions of the few miscreant mental midgets who ignore the law.

Wonder how the SCOTUS acknowledgement of the "Right to Defense" will factor in, especially non-lethal methods such as wearing ballistic plates... Guess those BP clothing manufacturers will now be out of business as well.

I don't have nor want a vest because it's hot and heavy and I really don't plan on getting shot, but with all that aside just WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THAT YOU CAN TELL ME THAT I CAN'T HAVE A VEST IF I WANT ONE? These sorry ass bastards need a good smack in the face with a reality glove.

Wait until they ban the bulletproof backpacks for kids. So stupid.

 

[E the massive]

So, the state with the "toughest gun laws" has to ban body armor because bad guys with guns?

I'm not worried, slingshot's are illegal anyway.

The first thought that came to my mind was I demand they also ban bulletproof backpacks, and advertise it with the vest ban. Lat's see how many soccer moms speak up.

In the Liberal Progressive's utopia, citizens cannot have firearms to defend themselves. Similarly, they also cannot have armor to protect themselves from shots fired by criminals.

Ahhh.....the promised land.

 

[Uzi]

So anyone that owns expensive body armor for training or range use and or the simple right to defend their safety will be stripped of their property because this fucking stupid asshole thinks it's only used by criminals and therefore nobody should be able to own or use it that this stupid fucking asshole doesn't see fit? Yeah, sounds like NY to me.

If this bill passes, that will probably cut back on drunk Arkansas rednecks doing shots together on weekends ... by maybe a half

Drunks shoot each other wearing bullet proof vest
