Some Facts about Bulletproof Gear Laws in the US

I was considering getting a bulletproof vest for next semester, kind of as a passive aggressive anti-gun statement I suppose. Also I saw a Youtuber test an extremely cheap bulletproof vest he got in China and it literally broke a bullet, so no questions about effectiveness if, gods forbid, I do run into a gun-wielding maniac. What I did not expect was to find out that there are certain restrictions on body armor in the United States. Here it is in case anyone else who is not American was considering bringing body armor to America: -civilians are not allowed to purchase or possess military grade body armor (Note: this is not confirmed, and I have no idea where the line is drawn) -Felons are not allowed to purchase or use body armor at all. -New York is considering making body armor illegal, and some states already have though I do not know which ones these are -In Louisiana, it is illegal to wear body armor on school property -Possessing body armor while committing a crime enhances the sentence -In some states, purchase of body armor must be done in person and possibly requires a license -Thus it would probably not be a good idea for me, an alien, to bring a bulletproof vest of unknown classification to America because there is a high chance that Customs would have my head -It would probably be okay to buy a low-grade bulletproof jacket online in states like Virginia. But the kind I can afford would probably not be as effective as what I can get in China. -Unrelated, but did you know that nunchucks and throwing stars are strictly banned in Virginia? *revises plan to secretly become a ninja* -But that's not as bad as the states that ban club-like objects like plus-size flashlights that can be used as makeshift hitting devices. Flashlights.
