    The whole "way to stop bad guy with gun is good guy with a gun" was idiotic & doomed from the start, but has become much more so with body armor as part of the mix.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1529268632257286145 …

    Increasingly common theme. Cops engaged the shooter. But he was wearing body armor and managed to get into the school anyway. Then went classroom to classroom. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blog/primary-big-lie-georgia-alabama-midterms?entry=1416410 … via @TPM

        Also assumes everyone transforms into Wyatt Earp when in fact most people are far more likely to (justifiably) piss their pants.

        Republican’s “need to harden the targets” will now include students/teachers/staff wearing body armor all school day, in addition to armed teachers/staff.

        But apparently requiring people (and kids) to wear a face mask is a Bridge. Too. Far!

        How are people supposed to just always totally ready to shoot someone down within seconds? Never understood that.

        Last I checked "body armor" =/= "arms." Shouldn't banning civilian purchase and ownership of it be a no-brainer? Such a ban would be manifestly constitutional.

        This is what I’m wondering- in what circumstance do civilians need body armor?
