>>110410384The thing with armor is there's different ratings to it. e.g. that plate/rig is going to be rated for what kind of calibers it can reliably stop.
usually the lighter you go the less protection you're going to have.
Lightweight shits going to be mostly pistol rated and not really do anything since 7.62x39 or 5.56 are what your average mass shooter is going to be packing. on top of there is some state to state variance on the legality of owning body armor.
You are not the only person to think of this.
on top of, most of the upper class is less interested in letting the lower classes become even a modicum of self-reliant so thats why you're not allowed to own body armor and they're trying to do away with gun rights completely, not to mention how with the NSA and lord knows what other glow in the dark niggatry watching John Public's every shitpost its amazing how these mass shooters appear out of nowhere...
