Cops can have tinted windows, speed down the road, and wear bulletproof windows and we can't? Stupid Democrats and their double standards. We can hardly protect ourselves anymore. Everything is illegal. Get bullet proof backpacks. Say its for the children, then make your own vest. |

But in reality both sides are just part of the same coin so, I dont get wrapped up in specifics it's just sad that you're right. Things are horrible and getting worse. I'm scared to see how its going to be 5 years from now, if we're here. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77130748 Also, one can find black tip AP ammo still if you look hard enough. Takes a level 4 vest to stop them. Most vests are going to be pretty meaningless at some point as gun/bullets tech continues. Just one example - 2017 article showing a company modifying 5.56 ammunition to have the ability to penetrate all levels of bullet proof vests up to 250 meters by modifying the bullet's core mass along the entire length of the bullet. [link to defence-blog.com (secure)] If I'm in a life or death situation, headshot is my go to anyways. I'm not saying i wanted a bulletproof vest, because as you said it's not foolproof. I just was kind of shocked to hear what I heard. I fail to see why a vest would be illegal. |

If you’re buying a bullet proof vest, you’re planning to put yourself into a dangerous situation. Maybe the assumption is that only psycho mass murderers would be the ones that would be planning to put themselves into a dangerous situation like that and have need of vest. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77379399 Germany 02/16/2019 10:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The federal law has been challenged on several grounds, all of them unsuccessfully: Possession by convicted criminals Like the federal law, many state laws prohibit certain convicted persons from possessing body armor. But some states don’t restrict the ban to those convicted only of violent felonies; and may even extend the ban to violent misdemeanors. Other states list the crimes that determine whether an individual may possess the armor. Like the federal law, some states allow possession for specified reasons, such as for work.
