I'm more concerned about firearm regulation than body armor. If type three protects against hunting rifles, then it's probably just bought to protect against idiots who drink while handling their firearms, so they don't have to resort to using orange clothes. If you can't tell the difference between a human in camo, and a deer, then you don't need to be out in the woods with a gun.

With 300 million guns in the place it strikes me as entirely sensible to buy that stuff.

Btw, that is one bad pun.

But more often, it's purchased and worn by "right-wing ultra-conservative gun nuts" who are usually ex-military and are involved in local militia groups, the Tea Party, and other sorts of debauchery. Knowing that, how do you feel?

Body armor should not be regulated in my opinion.

If civilians are allowed body armor the fucking cops will demand Apache gunships and Hellfire missiles.

Where will the arms race end?

The cops already have those. They need those to properly kill 6 innocent unarmed black teenagers with one shot rather than be unconscionably limited to having to shoot each one 6 times.
