re: #231 lawhawk

Also, in terms of armor for stopping weapons fire, I know a good bit about this and would like to respond:

Police very rarely face rifle fire of any sort. In the great majority of cases where police are fired on the weapon is a handgun, which standard Level III body armor worn by police will stop. Frankly, police safety really isn’t a justification for banning semi-auto rifles, since they are not a notable risk to law enforcement.
