    Police department in a small town in Oklahoma tests using textbooks to stop bullets from handguns and AR-15 rifles. “The more books you can stack into a backpack and put around a kid, ultimately, you can stop a round.” http://abcn.ws/2F9sSPV pic.twitter.com/MXMU90sTgq

        Weird fact...if there weren’t bullets flying in the first place, from a lack of mechanisms that project them, then this wouldn’t even be an issue. But I guess that’s just me...and all the rest of the world

        I’ll just throw the bullets then. Maybe slingshot them with some rubber bands by putting them in a pvc tube and maybe adding some co2 power like an air soft gun and before you know it, I’d have built my own gun. Too bad it’s illegal 🙄

        Have you considered a catapult, loaded with as much ammo as possible, in a shot-gun style rain of projectiles? Area of effect increases

        If people kill people, how would banning guns cause less deaths?

        Don’t forget to strap some to their heads, sides, the front of their torsos, and groin area.
