Push for Gun Control in Pennsylvania Expands to Body-Armor Control

Bradley Vasoli, The Star News Network

A bill proposed by State Representative Tim Briggs would bar civilians from buying or

possessing body armor in Pennsylvania. His legislation follows efforts on the federal level and in other states to prohibit civilians from acquiring protective shields. Chuck Schumer called for a body-armor ban in 2019 after a mass shooting in Ohio. The New York State Assembly has considered enacting restrictions, but a bill to do so has stalled.
