I used to have body armor in the trunk of my car. For no reason other than I didn't want it taking up closet space, so leaving it out there was convenient. My dad about had a fit when he found out.. he figured if police ever saw it they would drag my ass away thinking I was up to something

It makes mass murderers invincible to bullets.
That's why they had to call in a battleship to shell the Hollywood shooters to put an end to three weeks of non-stop gun violence. |

Government likes easily killed peasants.
Also, people who own armor probably know what they're doing a bit more than the average Joe. Those people in particular must be ground down. |

People freak out about it more then ARs and everyone wants more bans and restrictions on it. Why? I can't think of a more passive way to protect yourself then body armor. It's like midevil people only buying a shield and not a sword. It is designed to protect yourself and nothing more. Just like a seatbelt or airbag. The government likes its people shootable. This. Also, the libtard's god is government. The libtard really doesn't like the idea of their god's bullets not being effective on a potential likely enemy to their values and beliefs. (Disregard the blacklivesmatter, excessive use of force, militarization of police, etc. "movements" the left is currently hyper focused on. Body armor is logical solution to these perceived problems. Liberals and logic don't mix.) |

I would venture to say that another group besides the typical "liberals" opposes the wide access of citizens to armor. Not going to mention the group specifically, some people around here would would get all butt hurt. I must be missing something. guess I should have just said it. LEO's. Guy above said something that made a lot of sense. Get pulled over with body armor visible in the back. Would bet you would get a pretty good questioning in regards to it |

I'm also guessing that most LEO's opinion on citizens and body armor would be similar to citizens and AR's - in the hands of law abiding citizens in isn't an issue. |

as you can see the leftist deep in their felling little hearts hate cops, soldiers & clergy anything those folks may need to do their job is bad.

... I can tell you this, in a global theatre, defensive military hardware armor is a high guarded secret

Carrying a gun implies someone is ready for trouble. Wearing armor implies conflict is expected. That's how the liberals I know see it, and I don't know anyone who wears armor when they CCW.

The government likes its people shootable. The libs dont like any sort of resistance against their government henchmen. For a people who claim to abhor bloodshed and violence at the end of a gun- they sure dont mind ordering others to do so on their behalf |

View Quote I think with the typical leftist/SJW type is just a matter of creating 'equality' (as they see it) They want everyone to be 'equal' that means no one has more strength, power, security, independance than anyone else. Everyone is Equal in every way. This is the utopia they seek. It is of course bullshit. There is always inequality, because people are not identical. One person might be smarter than another, that is another inequality advantage that needs to eliminated. These days you see that actual knowledge and facts are less important than feels. If life is in anyway easier for you (smarter, better looking, better parents, wealthy, hetrosexual, strong work ethic) than someone else, That is a Privilege that needs to stopped, everyone should have exactly he same level of happiness. like all zealots, they are just as blinded by faith as anyone else who believes they know the one true path of life. Their path on the surface sounds reasonable. Equality, who wouldn't want that. But the 'equality' goal, is obviously fundamentally unsound. So the hatred of guns is because of the power imbalance (inequality) it creates, because you can resist their will. Police have public order powers that are greater than leftists, so the police get the hate too. Religion gets the hate, because it is a different path to a utopia, and therefore competes with them. Also religious leaders are seen as having more power than a youtube SJW (and that's unfair and unequal) Body armour is another way they you are more protected that the average person, and therefore it's unequal and unfair. And so it goes on. They want everyone to be equally powerless so that they can force these values on people and they can't resist. [But this is the case with all zealots for any cause] |

It is funny that I read this thread the other day then last night ,at the local IDPA shoot, the owner and some guys were talking and I hear the owner say how he won't sell body armor to anyone who isn't in the business like police or security. Going on and on about it.
So I say-" Will you sell them guns though?" Him-"Yes" Me-"well guns can kill someone, what are you doing to do with bodyarmor? Hit them with it?" Him-Looks at me like I'm stupid-"No one needs that. GUns are defensive and Body armor is Offensive!" Me-"How do you figure? You can't go into a school and kill kids with only body armor, but you can with a gun, which you have no issues selling. I have class 3 steel plated body armor I bought online, You think I'm crazy?" Him-"there is no such thing, class 3 is ceramic only." Me-"ok, have a nice night." I don't really understand the fear of it. If you are ok will selling a gun to someone that can be deadly, but not body armor which protects just a fraction of your body. Weird. |

View Quote The people that freak out about it are primarily in three camps: (1) Fudds that simply hate everything they're not interested in (2) Pajama-boy type leftists and angry old coastal white leftists that would never, ever take up arms for a number of reasons and expect the state to save them - and thus see armor in private hands as making it harder for the man to come rescue their sorry asses. Many of them are also intensely interested in disarming their opponents in any way they can, because once they're in power they like to think the state is their own private goon squad. (3) Statists of various stripes. |
