Well if we're banned from 'Military grade body armor'  Does that mean can still get 'Police grade body armor'?

That May just be the resion behind this.

Gov cuts out some mil spending, but the Congress critters friends demand more sales. so they say they are doing x,y,z people panic buy these items.
Profit is made.

  I don't think they're trying to grandfather it. MEANING, it doesn't matter when you got it, it's illegal to possess.

Am I correct? I see no grandfather clause in there.

Under this bill, Level I, II, and IIIA are still legal.  IIIA will stop pistol rounds up to .44 magnum.

Level III, and IV will be banned.  III and IV will stop rifle bullets.   Level IV is the highest level of protection.

Meh....

Right in the text of the bill it gives a state the authority to override the law for it's residents.

Bad bill writing is bad....thankfully.

Nope. The language is taken from the '86 MGB. "Under the authority of" means "as an agent of."

I'm betting the extra 175lbs of biological ballistic gelatin he's carrying accomplishes the same task.

Right - run this bill through right after Ferguson.  The distant, suppressed optimist in me wants to believe that even a few liberal friends of ours wouldn't support this bill after what they've seen.
