I disagree Mr Honda, there is nothing more dangerous than an unstoppable well-armored government.

"This bill will keep military body armor out of the wrong hands," Honda said. "It would ensure that only law enforcement, firefighters and other first responders would be able to access enhanced body armor."

"We're not talking about just a standard bullet-proof vest," he said. "We're talking about body armor that is designed for warfare, designed to protect against law enforcement ammunitions." …

I'd like to see the stats on how many "Well Armored Shooters" there have been in the last 10yrs as opposed to unarmed killings by police officers. I'd bet the latter is a much higher number.

Honda announced the legislation last week at a press conference with various law enforcement officials in his district who have endorsed the propsal.

Of course, Honda is overlooking a lot of other scenarios, and outright ignoring the possibility that law-abiding citizens would have any reason to wear protective garments, whether they're in danger from armed criminals or a no-knock police raid gone awry. The San Jose Police Department's ethics are questionable already: One of its former chiefs has been sounding the alarm for years about the dangers of police militarization, meawhile the department has been pushing for greater surveillance capabilities and was just caught lying about owning a camera-equipped drone.
It's old guys like Honda that's all about protecting the police state. Bow to the police state.

If law enforcement carried deer rifles & not "assault " rifles Body armor would not matter idiot

I can imagine that he definition of first responders will be expanded to cover all sorts of government employees. How long before teachers are declared first responders in the case of violence on campus?
Doesn't the right to bear arms imply a right to do what is necessary to defeat armor? This is an attempt to circumvent the 2nd Amendment.

Well...the right to keep and bear arms =/= right to body armor...amiright?

I don't understand how the concept that this would only apply to law-abiding citizens is so hard to recognize for those on the left.

Full steam ahead to the police state. Can't have anything getting in the way!
