Rep. Meng moves to ban civilian use of body armor on the anniversary of Buffalo mass shooting

On the two-year anniversary of a racially motivated mass shooting that killed ten people in Buffalo, Queens Congresswoman Grace Meng reintroduced legislation to ban the body armor worn by the shooter. 

The Aaron Salter Jr. Responsible Body Armor Possession Act would prohibit the possession, sale or transfer of enhanced body armor, which has high levels of ballistic resistance. Currently all levels of body armor can be legally purchased online.
