Ban Body Armor?

And for the record... I believe regardless of the law criminals like this will always be able to obtain firearms and body armour.
The black market for this is global.

I could even buy this stuff in Aus (brand new in it's original packaging). All it takes is the right connections and money.

Body armour is banned in Manitoba, Alberta and BC. One province in the East has legislation pending. Police are exempt and anyone who has a reasonable need for it. IE Armoured car and security personal can apply for a permit to own it.

Actually....

That shootout was the inspiration for the shootout in the movie Heat. It also is part of the reason why today you will rarely find the police outgunned.

Also "Lethal Weapon IV"

Interesting info... According to the video the Police borrowed heavy rifles from a local gun shop.

Correct and as pointed out, the reason the Police are armed like the military now.

Correct Again.



Nothing proves that better than this, 1st, the guy was a wanted criminal, didn't he know it was illegal for him to have a gun??

To people who think that a ban on ______ will solve the problem, I'll pose a question - how's that war on drugs working out?

Almost as well as Prohibition stopped the sale of alcohol.
