Now that GB has outlawed and collected all the guns why the huge expense in R&D and bringing to issue of 'dual purpose' protctive vests ? there are no guns allowed right ? Some nice lies on the Cobb cty incident.

I just finished watching it. Slightly anti slant, although they were careful to say that BA and weapons are used for good and evil, and that regular law-abiding folks should be able to buy BA. Most of the info was true, although the stuff about REAL AP used in the N. Hollywood shootout, and the .223 going through walls and cars, was a little off the wall. The history at the beginning about "guns becoming more available to the public" in the 60's is TOTAL horseshit. If anything they were becoming LESS availiable. Overall it was a pretty cool show.
