But I don't think a bulletproof vest can be bought by a civilian.

Ever wonder why?.

The Aurora Colorado shooter was outfitted with kevlar gear.

Maybe it was a felon that couldn't legally own one, but then again I've never felt the need to own one.

Until now.....

to civilians, by the manufacturers discretion or maybe a requirement of their military contract, but there's nothing prohibiting you from purchasing body armor if you're not a felon.

Just ignore context and degrees of involvement.

republican TreasonWeasels and the frikken NRA are also cuddled up in bed with the anti-American evil empire* of russia as it continues its ACTS OF WAR** against America.

* per ronald reagain
** per dick freaking cheney, and all 17 Intelligence Agencies

And life comes cheap here; $6M = less than $200 per gun death.

that's just the direct contributions.

they can also direct their members, many of whom are very active and aggressive in terms of contacting politicians, making their own donations, etc.

and keep in mind that angry emails from a bunch of people where just about the only thing you know about them is that they are armed can be rather effective.

Senate races are running $20-50 million dollars (depending on whose money is counted) APIECE, the Presidential is a couple of BILLION, and a punk $6 million, party-wide, carries a swing vote ?? WTF ?? The NRA is starting to look like the Wizard of Oz -- much sound and light, but only fakery behind it. Reps need to stand up and say "my OTHER constituents are more important than the NRA" -- by a big margin.

Deposit your money at the gate, get your free gun, and have fun.
