The wording of that petition could use some fixing. Not aware of any "right to own body armor" I'm afraid.

Online petitions solve nothing. Call/write your congresscritters and let them know how you feel, and how your money will flow come campaign time.

I didn't write it, but for what its worth any law that contradicts the constitution is null and void. Here's the definition of arms from the time the Second Amendment was ratified:

Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language; 1755

Arms: Weapons of offence, or armor of defense. Webster's 1828 dictionary

'ARMS, n. plu. L. arma.

1. Weapons of offense, or armor for defense and protection of the body.

Has a single, solitary white house petition about anything ever resulted in even a mention by the press secretary, let alone 'action' of some sort?

If the police need it, then the average citizen does too.

to me the police need it, but that should have nothing to do with my ability to buy and own body armor.
HH thanx for saying citizen instead of civilian.

That's because cops are civilians too.

Now that folks know about the petition, they can make their own decisions.
