The idiots you worry about already have guns.
I would rather be somewhere with a hundred decent people armed, than in the same location, unarmed, with one of those idiots.
I have taught a number of people, how to use a firearm properly. I also practice regularly, to avoid mistakes.
Bulletproof clothing is actually bullet Resistant, and it is heavy and uncomfortable. It also only avoids penetration, you still must absorb the force. This usually results in a broken rib, and possible internal bleeding.
Sadly we can only restrict the law abiding citizen's access to firearms.
After all making drugs illegal has done away with them, so I'm sure these gun laws will be just as effective....
Murder is in the heart, not the firearm; and wisdom is not gained by not carrying a firearm. Nor are idiots limited to those who carry firearms.
My entire family carries, and my Son is an armed security officer at a local university. We collectively have never pulled a weapon, but I have taught them proper use since they were kids.
I have instructed, and armed two of three sisters. I have a pistol for the third one she will not get, until she is fully trained.
Now for the bottom line, the government does not have the authority to restrict firearms. Our Founding Fathers knew that the largest threat to free citizens, was their own government. I posted on this recently. They wrote about it 200 plus years ago, it was true then too....
