Can a felon own a riot shield or ballistic shield since it’s not cover by the body armor 19 US Code 931?

Description:

Firearms, ammunition, and body armor are not currently among the items that a felon can possess. The President has said that “Law enforcement should have every tool available ballistic shields to keep our communities safe.” Now, I want to clarify what this policy means. Under the Department’s current policy, the federal government provides surplus military equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies for use in very limited circumstances. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

  • This equipment typically includes vehicles,
    protective gear, weapon systems or other military
    technology that states can purchase or otherwise
    obtain through other sources.
  • So what exactly does this policy mean and isnt
    it a violation of the 2nd amendment? Heres the
    part the media isnt highlighting and that is
    they are using government made weapons and gear
    without a permit, without payment, and not
    subject to background checks nor ownership
    records. Does that give them an advantage in a
    gunfight? And lastly, while were on this topic,
    how are we going to stop domestic terrorism?
  • This is our chance to discuss it.
  • What will we have in the future? Guns on every
    shelf at Wal-Mart? Can felons have body armor,
    riot shields and other weapons that are banned to
    the general public, what is the reason for the
    disparity? Can a felon use a firearm while on the
    run?

Can a felon own a bullet proof vest?
  • Firearms, ammunition, and body armor are not
    currently among the items that a felon can
    possess. The President has said that Law
    enforcement should have every tool
    available ballistic shields to keep our
    communities safe. Now, I want to clarify what
    this policy means. Under the Departments current
    policy, the federal government provides surplus
    military equipment to state and local law
    enforcement agencies for use in very limited
    circumstances. This is our chance to discuss it.
  • What will we have in the future? Guns on every
    shelf at Wal-Mart? Can felons have body armor,
    riot shields and other weapons that are banned to
    the general public, what is the reason for the
    disparity? Can a felon use a firearm while on the
    run?
  • And why should we be more concerned with stopping
    an average citizen from possessing a weapon
    instead of a felon with a felony?

Can civilians legally own body armor?
  • 1. A felon can keep a firearm at his residence,
    even if he stole the one he is now convicted of
    being in possession of.
  • 2. A felon can carry a concealed firearm.
  • 3. A felon can carry a concealed firearm in or on
    a vehicle.
  • 4. A felon can buy any firearm he wants if he has
    the money.
  • 5. A felon can buy ammunition, from anywhere, for
    any weapon.
  • Gun laws, such as concealed carry laws, do not
    stop the murder from taking place. A gun in the
    house does NOT prevent the murder. A gun doesnt
    stop the bullet. Only the laws stop that murder.
    The laws are not written for the protection of
    the public, but for the preservation of the 2nd
    amendment rights. The laws do a great job for the
    protection of the private citizens rights.

Is it illegal to wear body armor in public?
  • I believe that every citizen should have the
    right to own a firearm. Its our right as
    Americans to do so. The problem today is that
    those of the Democrat and/or Socialist persuasion
    do not appreciate individual rights and dont
    believe in the second amendment. Those of the
    Socialist persuasion would say that they dont
    want weapons of war in the hands of average
    citizens.
  • Their ideology will cause them to take extreme
    actions to confiscate private firearms.
  • If you have to pay for a gun, why does it have to
    be on the open market?
  • I want to give you the background on my position
    on this issue.
  • In 2009, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that
    the right to keep and bear arms belonged to
    everyone, not just to those who could afford to
    buy a weapon.
  • Following this ruling, I supported a new State
    wide legislation known as the Gun Show Law.
    This new law stated that gun sales and purchases
    were to be done at gun shows after being placed
    on the ATFs National Instant Criminal Background
    Check System.
