Stop the bill that proposes a ban on body armor.

The bill, called the Responsible Body Armor Possession Act, would strip the right of civilians to purchase or own body armor. Enhanced body armor, as defined by the bill, is “body armor, including a helmet or shield, the ballistic resistance of which meets or exceeds the ballistic performance of Type III armor…” Type III armor protects against most standard issue rifles as well as many rounds used in handguns. Previous owners would be grandfathered in. However, if the bill were to pass and someone was caught wearing or owning any restricted body armor, the bill reads the person would receive a fine, possible jail time, or both as punishment.
