Could this bill calm the armor arms race, or just push body armor underground? Time will tell.

If you don’t want to end up like a superhero, maybe don’t wear superhero gear—this law keeps the streets safer for all of us.

I get the safety angle, but what about hunters or security workers caught in the crossfire? Exceptions better be crystal clear.

If law-abiding citizens can’t protect themselves with the best gear, only criminals get to be bulletproof. Great plan, guys.

Protecting communities means restricting enhanced armor to those with proper training, not the wild west of civilian paramilitaries.

Good, finally a bill that says body armor isn’t just for the police and military! Civilians don’t need to be walking tanks.

So now the government’s telling us which armor we can wear—what’s next, controlling what shoes we put on? Freedom under fire.

A ban sounds reasonable, but who decides what’s ‘enhanced’? I’m hoping they don’t stretch that definition to include Kevlar vests.

Enhanced body armor ban? Because disarming honest folks always makes crime rates magically drop, right?
