The government doesn't even consider those to be firearms! https://guide.sportsmansguide.com/adventures/muzzleloader-considered-firearm/ |
May be common sense to you but has no chance of passing. What people try to mean by common sense is something that would help and would pass. |
25% of people at gun shows black would be double to percentage of the AA population. So yes it would be a lot and quite diverse. |
DP Already did, been out 20+ years. |
Shall not be infringed. |
Make sure only the rich can protect themselves. Way to be a democrat stereotype. |
Infringe this. |
I've never even remotely seen that large of a percentage at any of the gun shows I've gone to. |
Eh - this is kind of a lame argument. American military helmets and body armor could never protect against the 7.62mm round. That is what an AK-47 shoots and 99% of our enemies use in combat in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. Very, very few elements of the military have armor that protect against 7.62mm as it is super expensive and was really, really heavy so you could only function for an hour or two on a mission before you simply collapse from the weight and heat. US law enforcement get the hand-me-downs from the US military or buy their own new equipment built to military spec. There are tons of rounds out there that no armor can stop. A typical deer rifle fires a .308 and short of cinder block it is going through everything. |
You obviously never been to the show at Dulles Expo Center, then. |
Tell me you know nothing about guns without saying you know nothing about guns. Any rifle bullet made since the 1880’s will go through a Kevlar police vest like it was a sheet of newspaper. “OmG! iT CaN pEnEtRaTe A bUlLeT prOoF vEsT!!!” Yeah. They all can. For the last 130 years. |
“when was the last time you saw a deer wearing a bulletproof vest”? I’ve got an idea for you. A little homework assignment, if you will. It will expand your knowledge and keep you from looking stupid in the future. The most common rifles calibers used for hunting deer (historically) are the .30-30 Winchester and the .30-06 Springfield Do an internet search for the kinetic energy chart for those calibers, and compare them to the kinetic energy chart for 5.56mm NATO caliber (in AR-15’s) Then get back to us and tell us what you learned. |
So why bother with bulletproof vests at all? |
Not all. It really depends on what kind of body armor and what kind of ammunition. A decent vest with ceramic or steel plate will stop many .223's. Some types of ammo, like hollowpoints, are not very good at getting through armor. |
