For body armor and certain kinds of weapons and attachments, one needs a Class III license. They are not available to the general public, as you wrote. EDIT:

EDIT: I'm wrong on body armor. I could have sworn at least some of it was restricted and required a license.
- libertine 6y agoThank you for correcting me.
- cptnapalm 6y agoI will say that for a law abiding citizen, there's really no real road block to getting a Class III. However, only very few people bother to do it. In so far as to how dangerous it is, there are 630,000 legal full-auto/select-fire weapons in the US. They do require a Class III license to purchase and own and there have been no new ones since 1986. As I recall, of those 630,000, only 3 have been used illegally since 1934 and 2 of those were, ironically, by cops.

Still, as shown by the media at least, weapons became an accessory in protests and public manifestations over the past... 4 years? Even though they're not used, people have demonstrations of power by presenting their weapons. But again, my culture is very different from USA, so it's hard for me to grasp such thing.
