"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." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
