  1. Can a felon own a riot shield or ballistic shield since it’s not cover by the body armor 19 US Code 931?

  2. Can a felon own a riot shield or ballistic shield since it’s not cover by the body armor 19 US Code 931? • This equipment typically includes vehicles, protective gear, weapon systems or other military technology that states can purchase or otherwise obtain through other sources. • So what exactly does this policy mean and isn’t it a violation of the 2nd amendment? Here’s the part the media isn’t highlighting and that is they are using government made weapons and gear without a permit, without payment, and not subject to background checks nor ownership records. Does that give them an advantage in a gunfight? And lastly, while we’re on this topic, how are we going to stop domestic terrorism? • This is our chance to discuss it. • What will we have in the future? Guns on every shelf at Wal-Mart? Can felons have body armor, riot shields and other weapons that are banned to the general public, what is the reason for the disparity? Can a felon use a firearm while on the run?

  3. Can a felon own a bullet proof vest? • Firearms, ammunition, and body armor are not currently among the items that a felon can possess. The President has said that “Law enforcement should have every tool available ballistic shields to keep our communities safe.” Now, I want to clarify what this policy means. Under the Department’s current policy, the federal government provides surplus military equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies for use in very limited circumstances. This is our chance to discuss it. • What will we have in the future? Guns on every shelf at Wal-Mart? Can felons have body armor, riot shields and other weapons that are banned to the general public, what is the reason for the disparity? Can a felon use a firearm while on the run? • And why should we be more concerned with stopping an average citizen from possessing a weapon instead of a felon with a felony?

  4. Can civilians legally own body armor? • 1. A felon can keep a firearm at his residence, even if he stole the one he is now convicted of being in possession of. • 2. A felon can carry a concealed firearm. • 3. A felon can carry a concealed firearm in or on a vehicle. • 4. A felon can buy any firearm he wants if he has the money. • 5. A felon can buy ammunition, from anywhere, for any weapon. • Gun laws, such as concealed carry laws, do not stop the murder from taking place. A gun in the house does NOT prevent the murder. A gun doesn’t stop the bullet. Only the laws stop that murder. The laws are not written for the protection of the public, but for the preservation of the 2nd amendment rights. The laws do a great job for the protection of the private citizens rights. • Gun laws, such as concealed carry laws, do not stop the murder from taking place. • A gun in the house does NOT prevent the murder.

  5. Is it illegal to wear body armor in public? • I believe that every citizen should have the right to own a firearm. It’s our right as Americans to do so. The problem today is that those of the Democrat and/or Socialist persuasion do not appreciate individual rights and don’t believe in the second amendment. Those of the Socialist persuasion would say that they don’t want “weapons of war” in the hands of average citizens. • Their ideology will cause them to take extreme actions to confiscate private firearms. • If you have to pay for a gun, why does it have to be on the open market? • I want to give you the background on my position on this issue. • In 2009, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that the right to keep and bear arms belonged to everyone, not just to those who could afford to buy a weapon. • Following this ruling, I supported a new State wide legislation known as the “Gun Show Law.” This new law stated that gun sales and purchases were to be done at gun shows after being placed on the ATF’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
