I don't understand how the concept that this would only apply to law-abiding citizens is so hard to recognize for those on the left.

Body armor doesn't protect people, people protect people?
Wait.....It sure does help though.

There was an LA bank robbery about 20 years ago where the perps were wearing body armor.
Ah, yes, the last great History Channel reenactment. The North Hollywood Shootout.
I'm looking for more details on their armor.
Some sources say it was "military grade 3" armor with impact plates, others said it was "hillbilly" body armor, meaning homemade Nomex rather than commercial or military grade.

Full steam ahead to the police state. Can't have anything getting in the way!

Whatever they had was an aramid of some type but NOT necessarily Kevlar. The source I found couldn't specify it past the aramid family.

The reason it was so effective for those two guys was that they had automatic weapons while the cops only had handguns and shotguns.
Kind of hard to hit a head shot with one of those at distance to begin with, let alone while two jackasses are unloading fully automatic AKs at you.
From Wiki-

However, aramid body armor worn by Phillips and Matasareanu covered all of their vitals (except their heads) while providing more bullet resistance than standard-issue police Kevlar vests, enabling them to deflect pistol bullets and shotgun pellets, while Matasareanu's chest armor even successfully withstood a hit from a SWAT operator's AR-15.
