Is an "assault clothing" ban in our future?

From our active 5th columnists:
Here are a few examples of its usage in the media. From Reuters:

By noon, according to police, the couple had donned assault clothing, armed themselves with rifles and stormed a holiday party attended by San Bernardino County employees, killing 14 people and wounding 17 others.

From ABC News/Associated Press:

Farook and Malik were found with assault rifles and semi-automatic handguns, and were wearing “assault-style clothing” with ammunition attached, authorities said.

From the LA Times:

Farook and Malik were dressed in what the chief called “assault-style clothing,” and both were armed with assault rifles and handguns.

I can see state bans as in Cali and the like. However, if it is confiscation, then it would be nasty or 0 compliance if it is voluntarily turn over.

I guess I was wearing some "AC" today, while I was wearing a camo t-shirt when making a saw buck, that is, a type of saw horse designed for sawing fire wood.

Although it appears SB shooters weren't wearing them, there are bans on "body armor" for convicted felons...I'm kind of ambivalent about that given that it's purely defensive, but that's the law. Maybe body armor IS Assault Clothing... :shock:

It's not "assault clothing" if worn by government employees....it's "personal defense clothing." So the "officer" in that photo is safe. "rlol"

To me assault clothing is something along the lines of short-shorts on obese women, speedos on men, and low rider pants on males that expose their underwear and look like they're about to fall off.

Fabricating or building. Making a sawbuck, would be earning ten USD.

Will all vests be included in this ban? What about them dessert tan and scary black assault boots?
