She doesn't know what she is talking about. In these cases, 90% of the time, its citizens who stop the shooters, in in CO.
She can yap yap yap all she wants I guess; it will not change anything
I'll choose a gun. A ball point pen in my european man bag won't cut it in the situation described above.<snip> One can be effectively armed with a ballpoint pen or with a purse.
I doubt the shooter had a ballistic (bullet resistant) vest. I'll bet he had what's often called a tactical vest. I suspect the press reports about him being heavily armored are largely wrong. More likely he was fully decked out as a mall ninja.
Fully decked out doesn't make them bulletproof Bill.
Thought my post rather pointedly suggested that - guess I need to be more direct.
Blaming a hunk of steel for the evils of the world is the easy way out. It also accomplishes nothing. Addressing the disease of the brain is much harder, but necessary if you are serious about stopping violence. So passing laws focused on an inanimate object is a waste of time with no return on investment. Applied behavior analysis is a more effective tool than enacting laws which will be ignored regardless. It’s a difficult solution to a complex issue which won’t be fixed by simply signing a piece of paper. If such were true then DC, Chicago & New York would be Gardens of Eden with people walking the streets on nighttime strolls with no fear of violent acts.
Lori Haas' only qualification to speak intelligently on this matter is that her son was made to be a victim by the university he attended. I was hit by a golf ball once, but that didn't make me a scratch golfer.
It was her daughter ChinChin. You're thinking Of Goddard.
It's called the failure drill (or Mozambique). If a subject is wearing body armor (or is doped up) and center of mass hits are not effective, you then aim for the head, specifically the face, in the triangular region formed by the eyes and nose, due to the least bone mass that could deflect the bullet (or less common, but still an option, the pelvic bone if it's the only shot available to physically disable the subject) to stop the attack.
