The body armor regulations are the real WTF for me. It’s just a bold faced admission that they (i.e. the police and government) don’t like the notion that maybe the police can’t just roll up and kill you whenever they want.
The other reiteration I’ll add to your point about police exemptions is (in case anyone missed the “former”) that most of these bans and gun regulations not only exempt the police, they also exempt retired policemen. So if these guys are off the force, why do they need machine guns, switchblades, big magazines, > .50 caliber, etc., etc., etc., exactly?
