The shooter in Buffalo who killed ten, was wearing body armor. To be specific, he was wearing a plate carrier, with hard armor inside the carrier. I've not seen specifics, but those carriers will hold steel plate, ceramic plate, or any other plate you choose to stick in there. Aluminum, titanium, cardboard, oak - anything that can be stuffed into the sleeves, and that you are willing to test.

New York's legislators decided to outlaw body armor. Except, they outlawed soft body armor.

New body armor rules in NY miss vest worn by Buffalo killer
A new law barring sales of bullet-resistant vests to most civilians in New York doesn't cover the type of armor worn by the gunman who killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York’s new law barring sales of bullet-resistant vests to most civilians doesn't cover the type of armor worn by the gunman who killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket, a gap that could limit its effectiveness in deterring future military-style assaults.

During the May 14 attack, Payton Gendron wore a steel-plated vest, an armor strong enough to stop a handgun round fired by a store security guard who tried to halt Gendron's rampage.

A law hastily enacted by state lawmakers after the attack restricts sales of vests defined as “bullet-resistant soft body armor.”

And, that is why we don't need progressives writing laws about guns, or anything else. People who don't even know what a woman is can't be trusted to know any damned thing about anything.
