I don't know if it's a 2A issue (since body armor isn't a firearm), but I would consider it falling under one's basic right to life. It's a defensive item. You can't harm someone with body armor (well, the soft stuff anyway... but even with a ceramic trauma plate I don't know that you can get that great a swing with it). It's only an issue if someone is wearing it in commission of a crime that involves the use of deadly force by the police.
If the people should remain vulnerable in case the police feel the need to shoot them, should we not also prohibit anything else that might cause the police inconvenience should they wish to take us into custody? Where do we draw the line?
