New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- A new bill introduced to outlaw body armor in New York would make it illegal for civilians to purchase body armor and could find them guilty even if they have owned body armor for years.
If the bill is passed, body armor owners would be required to turn in their life-saving gear at law enforcement agencies such as local or state police, FBI, or DEA.
Failing to surrender their “body vests” within 15 days of the effective date of this new law could have severe repercussions.
What Is the Penalty?
Breaking this new law would result in a class A misdemeanor. Repeat offenders could potentially earn themselves a class E felony, and depending on their circumstances, the penalty could consist of fines, probation, and even up to 4 years in prison.
What Is Your Duty?
You must stop and reflect upon the truth. Body Armor is a Tool of Liberty. You are Free Men. Live as Free Men and oppose this asinine bill.

The Marxist overlords have decided that you should have no means to defend yourself whatsoever. Be a good compliant comrade. *sarcasm off*
Crazy Nanny state idea, what is wrong with these people.
Democrats won’t be satisfied until citizens have no means to protect ourselves whatsoever.
It’s been this way in Sweden for a wile now, and their deaths by body armor are zero, so you know it works.
To Bozo,
you have fallen prey to a very common misconception.
EX post Facto laws make your (legal) action in the past illegal.
No one will be prosecuted for having bought body armor in the past.
Declaring body armor, bump stocks, or LSD to be contraband in the future is not an X post Facto law.
Those who already own bump stocks, or body armor, will have to sell it out of state or turn it in before the effective date.
Their past legal actions will continue to remain legal and they will not be prosecuted for past actions.
Huh? What about Ex Post Facto?
From WIKIPEDIA
Ex post facto laws are expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 (with respect to federal laws) and Article 1, Section 10 (with respect to state laws).
