Funny thing is, not many people wear body armor. Starboard Tack Feb 2012 #14

THAT would be funny to see. n/t Ian David Feb 2012 #15

lol ellisonz Feb 2012 #26

Ok, so you're (in practical terms) against the practice of the 2nd Amendment. Johnny Rico Feb 2012 #28

Not really. ellisonz Feb 2012 #31

I may have to modify my position, then. Johnny Rico Feb 2012 #70

It is similar to the laws prohibiting criminals using police scanners during the crime. ManiacJoe Feb 2012 #71

I didn't know that law existed. Johnny Rico Feb 2012 #74
