My term Weapon is handed down from my Army background, and if you use your "protection gear" for that it is a weapon of defence. All that is needed to stop these idiots from taking away your "protection gear" is your willingness to fight for your rights as an American. Taking the time to call you legislators and say you are against this Bill Hr1022 will go along way, I will also remind you that this country was built by rebels who refused to give up their rights.
