"The pro-rights gun blog Guns Save Lives reported Monday that Congressman Mike Honda (D-CA) introduced a bill earlier this month that would impose a 10-year prison sentence for the 'crime' of a private citizen obtaining 'enhanced' body armor:" ...
"As mentioned above, not all body armor would be banned--just the 'enhanced' kind. Honda defines 'enhanced' body armor as that which is rated by the National Institute of Justice as Type III or higher. Generally speaking, Type III body armor is rigid, designed to wear over one's clothes, and expected to protect against many kinds of centerfire rifle fire ... In short, Honda wants private citizens shot with rifles to die." ... |

| Curious the most hoplophobic states also have the most restrictive laws regarding citizen use of body armor as well ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
