All the media is talking about how the California shooters wore body armor/tactical gear.

>Rep. Mike Honda has introduced legislation that would ban everyone owning enhanced (or Type III) body armor “except certain authorized users, such as first-responders and law enforcement,” per Honda’s press release. The legislation hasn’t gotten much media attention, and its small, partisan base of support means it’s likely dead on arrival in the House.

Has this idea's time come?

Hi, I'm Barack Obama. I'm allowed to have Body Armor and have men with guns that protect my family from other men with guns.

However, peasants should not be allowed to protect their families or their bodies. Celebrities however, they can also hire men with guns and utilize armor. Celebrities are people and peasants are less than filth.

Armor piercing rounds eat right through ar500.

There was a video of a guy testing plates, AR500 stopped shit easily and was almost not even scratched doing so. Guy using 30-06 armor piercing, put a hole clean through it. Was the cleanest hole ever, like a drill.

Ceramic did not survive multiple hits, but it stopped the AP 30-06

Armor has different protection ratings.

NIJ LIII rifle plates are not rated to stop .30-06 M2.
NIJ LIV rifle plates are rated to stop one round of .30-06 M2.

The issue with AR 500 is that particularly high velocity rounds like certain lots of M193 can defeat the plate. The projectile, though its standard copper jacket and lead core, around 3300fps or higher will act like a little shape charge. The surface of the steel forms a super fluid layer and becomes structurally compromised.

Reputable armor companies like AMI don't sell pure steel plates. Their famous TAC3S is a proprietary steel backed by Dyneema composite to reinforce the plate and prevent higher velocity rounds from penetrating.

It's easier to push for a body armor ban because the constitution doesn't guarantee your right to wear armor.

You'd have to argue that body armor can be considered 'arms' for the constitution to protect them.

The idea is that civilians should be as helpless and powerless against the government as possible. That's the goal. Taking away every possible means of civilian empowerment is part of how you achieve that goal, and civilians who are able to survive being shot at by the government can definitely be considered empowered.

This is also, by the way, why there is a push for a cash-less society and a welfare state. If all of your citizens are dependent on the government for money / everything, then all of that can easily be revoked at an individual level. Immediately ostracizing and strangling anyone who rebels or protests. "Oh, you don't like our government policies? Well, good luck accessing your bank account to pay for anything."

What we see shillary doing is advocating for a return to totalitarian rule by out-of-touch (and often delusional) aristocrats.

There is.

A WELL REGULATED militia, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

>>
>>57302963
There's always going to be a velocity/mass that will defeat an armor plate.

The nice thing about AR500 is that it will protect against the vast majority of small arms, and due to being steel instead of ceramic, can take multiple hits without failure while being less prone to accidental breakage, all while being cheaper.

Ultimately what you want to wear depends entirely on what you most expect to be getting shot with. If you know for a fact that the only thing coming your way is ammunition designed to pierce things like AR500 armor, then you'd either want to wear nothing, or something like high quality ceramic that will still protect you.

So if you want bodyarmor in BC, may as well go and get some guns while you're at it.

Got luck getting my interceptor body armor. You can't even kill anyone with armor, and the amount of criminals who use the big bulky that stands out like a sore thumb is even more rare than the number who use semi automatic rifles in general.

You know what armor is great for? Keeping you alive during a home invasion or a no knock raid. Gun grabbers want people to die so the police and state enforces are less afraid of trampling your rights.

I'll answer this one because a lot of people don't seem to get it, but if you've never worn body armour it's probably not obvious to you.

Basically, body armour is a fucking pain in the ass to wear. Because of this, nobody just wears it around in case they get shot at. It's just not practical. People only put body armour on when they're pretty certain they're going to need it.

Now, who is going to be pretty certain they need body armour and not exempt from these laws?

You guessed it - criminals. And there have been a couple nasty crimes involving body armour where the cops didn't have the equipment they needed to take the offenders down quickly, and people died because of it. In Australia practically our only national hero is a guy made some iron armour out of farm equipment and got into a shootout with the cops.

Are these laws enforceable? I don't know. All I can tell you is the rationale behind them.

Then boo hoo for you, I guess.

The rationale would be that the damage you would suffer from not having your vest is less than the damage society would suffer from allowing you to have your vest, because of the necessary consequences of allowing you access to a vest meaning that undesirables could get access as well.

That's the rationale.

>>57307453
I agree that it's a non-issue and I really don't care, but there is a logic to the suggestion. It's not *totally* out of left-field like it's normally characterised as.

>doctors and nurses get shot and stabbed all the time leaving work all the time by druggies. They should totally have at least stab proof armor on their way to their car.
Someone in favour of these laws would ask you "but how many actually do have that armour?" and your answer would be effectively none, to which they would reply "then why does it matter that they have access if they don't use that access because of the obvious practicality and comfort issues that bulletproof gear has."

The argument is 'nobody wears bulletproof armour except cops and criminals anyway', not that bulletproof armour is somehow dangerous. Bulletproof armour is good protection when you wear it, but you and effectively all civilians don't wear it and never will because it's a pain in the ass. So why does it matter if you have access or not?

Don't think that I support these laws, by the way. Like I said, I really don't care. It's not even my country. But these are the arguments.

It's a cost benefit thing. They believe there is some benefit to banning it (makes it harder for criminals to get). The believe that the potential cost (makes it harder for law-abiding civilians to get) is negligible because law-abiding civilians don't even want it because it's just a hassle to go tromping around in a plate carrier when 99% aren't ever going to be shot at in their life.

I agree with the second part, but I disagree with the first part. I don't think there's a significant cost to banning body armour (with exemptions), but nor do I think there's any benefit either because home-made body armour is as simple as a flat piece of steel and a hacksaw. In that case I err on the side of freedoms.

That said, this is such a non-issue in my opinion that I couldn't care less whether it was banned or legal. Some political battles aren't worth fighting no matter what you believe. If people will feel better banning body armour then I guess they can if they want. It won't affect me, because I'm not gonna be wearing it banned or not. I've worn enough body armour to last me a lifetime and it's a fucking pain in 45 degree summers.

Personally I'm just against banning shit in general because a group of people doesn't want the average person to be able to get it.

That's fair enough, and I'm not saying this is objectively stupid to care about. If you want to defend it you can, and (if you were Australian) I'd appreciate your efforts because I do agree with your goal.

But we've only got so much time on this planet and, to be honest, if I've got a roof that doesn't leak and a food supply I can rely on, running water, and freedom from rampaging pillaging bands stealing my money and breaking my shit, then I'm living better than like 98% of all people who have ever lived on this entire planet, ever.

When I look at things from that perspective, issues like this kinda fade to background chatter. I don't have the energy to fight for every cause. It's probably just an Australian thing - political apathy is part of our culture (unless it's immigrants).

GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE

BODY ARMOR KILLS PEOPLE
>>
>>57300304
Notice how the news report incessantly referenced "BODY ARMOR, BODY ARMOR. THEY WERE WEARING BODY ARMOR"
Then followed with dripping, gooey emotionalism "they got on their knees and started praying"

These are Jew tactics. Emotional manipulation.

The body armor played no part at all in their success. In a country of 350 million people, 14 deaths is totally insignificant. More people will die today tripping over sidewalk cracks.

Again, it's not about logic or reason. It's about an agenda. There are ulterior motives at work here, you can only guess what they are

Stay strong, the good thing is, a lot of them leave Texas after graduation to be in a more "cool" state. Its like they have Texan guilt, just like White guilt.

>>57311089
It would be trivial to write exemptions to cover that eventuality.

Like I said, I don't think it actually would make it harder for criminals, so I don't support the laws, but I don't think a well-drafted ban with reasonable exemptions would be a huge yoke to bear for Joe Blogs.

>>57306453
This is why Australia is shit. Back in the states, I keep a set of armor next my bed, right next to my gun and electronic ear muffs. It takes all of 3 seconds to put on and I have it there in case someone breaks in, because I am going to kill them and if they get a shot off, I'd rather not die with my wife watching me bleed out.
>>
>>57311357
>I don't think a well-drafted ban with reasonable exemptions would be a huge yoke to bear for Joe Blogs.

Would it probably matter on its own in the short term? Would a ban affect that many good guys? Probably not.

However, the slippery slope is real, you can't give an inch no matter how "reasonable" it is, because eventually good guys will want that armor, and two, the existance of that ban will be used to justify more less "reasonable" bans.

The 20th century was full of reasonable compromises with the left, and 21st century libertarians/conservatives are fed up because we get nothing they keep wanting more, so now they can fuck off and we appose everything on principle, because theres no end to what the left will claim is "reasonable".

This. Liberals are so funny. They want to ban guns because people commit violent crimes with illegally acquired guns (because the criminals obey the law) and now they want to ban literally the only thing that will protect people from criminals with guns if they get their way with a gun ban.

They're almost a parody of themselves talking about how evil conservatives want to murder thousands by flooding the streets with guns, but then they actively move against protective measures with literally no offensive capabilities. It's like they're actually the ones wanting people to die.

Because they are.

Question regarding level IV body armor:

I know it can dissipate rifle rounds however what is its effectiveness against stabbing?
>>
>>57318406
You did mention home defense though, and I wouldn't want people thinking that they need to sink +$1000 just for that.

Alternately, you can build a decent AR for under $500 and then spend $75 on some mags and $75 on ammo to fill up those mags. Then get a $20 surplus mag carrier and be good to go. Building an AR is simple as fuck, it's more like Legos than gunsmithing, I assembled mine in under 2 hours with no experience.

>>57319375
It does nothing against stabbing or something like an arrow. You can get stab resistant stuff though, but that's a different product.
>>
>>57320291
Plus, you can use .308 ammo with it. If you've got a good scope, you don't need a separate sniper rifle

>>57320980
