Bulletproof Backpack Makers, Retailers Slam New York Confiscation Legislation
2nd February 2021
A New York bill aimed at confiscating body armor would also force parents to hand over safety products designed for school shootings.
Democrat assemblymember Jonathan G. Jacobson wants to make New York the first state to outlaw bulletproof vests, but his far-reaching legislation would also end up seizing protective backpacks from students and parents. Two bulletproof backpack makers and one local retailer said the bill damages an industry created to protect children from school shootings.
Democrat politicians keep stepping on their base.
