I'm thinking someone remembered the infamous Hollywood Shootout and then recalled that Dayton shooter was wearing body armor, for all the good it did him:
A gunman who wore a mask, bulletproof vest and hearing protection was killed by police within 30 seconds of opening fire on Sunday in a popular nightlife district in downtown Dayton, Ohio, authorities said
To some people it seems to make sense to limit sales of body armor to avoid repeat acts. They aren't thinking of legitimate civilian use because they don't know anyone who wears body armor except LE and soldiers.
What is needed is a narrative of folks who have been saved by body armor and stab vests, to let them understand legit civilian usage.
IMO, the whole LARP'er image is harming us here.
Is it that hard to understand that TOO MANY folks equate running around with full military kit, shooting under NODS in a hurricane, wearing your Team Wendy helmet, all the while communicating on your squad radio, as something sovereign citizens, white supremacists, cartel members, or terrorists would do?
Ninety percent of the population probably doesn't see any positive upside to any of that stuff.
'Second Amendment, you fvcking idiot!' does not cut it. There is a need to educate, without looking down upon those who don't feel the same way.
