You think there should be laws against me owning an item I want "just because" you don't want it? Criminals will still get body armor and kill people. The law against body armor will ONLY stop law abiding citizens and take away one of the freedoms of living in USA.
We just need to pass a law that makes it illegal to commit mass murder. That will stop it!

Actually I don't think that at all. You Yanks love your guns and that's fine. As an outsider I don't have an opinion but body armour seems redundant.
I also don't have an opinion about bullfighting in Spain although it seem a lot of people who live outside of Spain do.
Imagine walking around with a bullet proof vest on all the time. I can't even imagine it. As far as owning it. If that's your thing then go for it. (I have a collection of "redundant" film cameras that I still use.)
But if you really feel you need to wear it then you should sell your house and move to somewhere safer.
The point is I think you have a lot of other more pressing issues to deal with. This body armour thing is just a "Red Herring" IMO.

A few years ago there was an incident in the US were two gunmen wore body armour and they had also sewn kevlar into their pants and jacket sleeves.
This rendered them basically impervious to hand gun fire from the Police. They were taken down eventually but only after many shots were exchanged and heavier rifles were used. (From a TV documentary. I'll try and find the story online)
