I see how the gun law passed in WA now. Read the PopVox comments in regards to HR 378. There are a bunch of idiots who voted they support HR 378 but their comments are in opposition of the bill. I can see why Bloomberg thinks we are a bunch of idiots. How hard is it to grasp oppose and support?

Very unlikely to get any traction, but we do need to keep an eye on it.
Also don't see how they plan to regulate it; body armor does not typically have a serial # to indicate a manufacture date (this bill grandfathers), and the difference between an AR500 curved anti-spall target and a ballistic armor plate is verbiage.
Not to mention that making hard armor ain't exactly rocket surgery; AR plate is readily available, and not that hard to work with. Unless they think they're gonna regulate AR steel, which would have incredible opposition from a very large heavy equipment industry. That's how we get our free AR400 targets; old dozer & scraper blades from my buddy's place of employment. That worn down and torch cut AR400 still stops 5.56mm green tip at only 1/4 thick.

Seems like more knee jerking style thinking from these legislators. I see one of the florida boys signed on to support this. Quite disappointing. ..but we get what we vote for.......
Guess little do they realize commercial floor tile has been shown to work as body armor. There is no way They can ban everything that can stop high powered rounds. Sure seems common sense and education should be the quest they pursue, rather than trying to see who can knee jerk the most. More of the same..don't know why I'm even surprised anymore by it.......
