I would actually buy one of these for myself since people get shot and killed very recently on the streets of Flint, and I walk home from school everyday. However, elementary students should not be in fear of being shot at school. Metal detectors may be a plus. I give props to that parent. Better have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

First of all soft armor cannot stop a .223 round like that used in Newton. A hard plate is required for that. Second, armor does not stop a shooter only slightly limites their effectiveness. A gun is needed for that.

AddMyInstagram cashmayne If she gets shot in the head she dies. Same as if she gets shot in the back without armor. Training dictates that you aim at the heart and lungs when trying to kill someone, especially when they’re moving. Shooting accurately enough to hit moving targets in the head is very difficult. At distance, it would take luck. So of all the places on the body to wear armor, your chest and back are most important, especially if the armor is concealed.

No what needs to happen is that private sales loophole has to be closed, and then all background checks need enforcement. Devin Kelley, Nicholas Cruz, and 5 others were technically banned from firearm ownership, but the FBI f*cked up and let them slip through the cracks. We cant just have the mind set of only doing one thing as a solution or assuming proposing onething somehow contradicts with another. Buying ballistic protection does not contradict with reducing bad guys' access to guns.
