That's the only conclusion that I can come to. If I were living in Sniper County, Maryland, the best protection that I can think of from a sniper attack, aside from moving to a non-communist state, is to wear a bulletproof (okay, resistant) vest, but from perusing the archive of TFL, there have been several recent attempts by the Maryland legislature to ban sale of bulletproof vests to civilians.
Interesting, isn't it.
This would be a nice time to bring this up in Maryland. It's as if the politicians said, "In preparation for the upcoming sniper attacks, we're going to make sure you are unable to buy protection."
