Public places should have a "Break During Shootings" Body Armor Case

What do y'all think?
That way, if there happens to be a public shooting (God forbid), people can protect themselves with body armor.

It's not, I presume it's placed here to keep the butt-hurt cry babies to a minimum...
as for the practicality... some of the only body armor that will work at all against rifles is restricted, as in joe blow can't buy it easily...
there are ways around this, classic way is to buy it from some jerk in Moscow who risked his life to smuggle it out of a military armory for a few thousand commie dollars (0.5467 freedom units)
Police use body armor designed to stop low powered projectiles, mostly from handguns. some SWAT units use the nice stuff, but not all, and it's pretty safe to say that if you get shot with a rifle wearing break in case of emergency body armor it is not going to make much of a difference.

guns dont kill people. people kill people.
if you had a gun you can shoot the perp. lol at standing there and taking a bullet to the face after putting on body armor.
whats gonna protect you from knives, baseball bats, bombs, acid? no body armor for that.
the truth is violence is the ultimate power and you cant fight that without an equal opposing violence.
enlil thats not true. there are mass shootings every week. if you want the proof ill gladly provide them. although they dont fit the mainstream medias narrtive if you catch my drift.
thats assuming we are going by one of the many definitions.
Quote:
A mass shooting is an incident involving multiple victims of firearms-related violence. The United States' Congressional Research Service acknowledges that there is not a broadly accepted definition, and defines a "public mass shooting"[1] as an event where someone selects four or more people indiscriminately, and kills them, echoing the FBI definition[2][3] of the term "mass murder". However, according to the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012, signed into law in January 2013, a mass killing is defined as a killing with at least three deaths, excluding the perpetrator.[4][5][6][7] Another unofficial definition of a mass shooting is an event involving the shooting (not necessarily resulting in death) of five or more people (sometimes four)[8] with no cooling-off period]

Of course there are mass shootings every week... it would be a statistical impossibility for there to not be... but the side of that often overlooked is how statistically insignificant those numbers actually are... if a thousand mass shootings a year was as bad as peoples perception of a thousand mass shootings a year the entire planet would have been completely annihilated a long time ago. but as it is, when compared to the rest of the world and all the ways it kills people, death by bullets fades into complete statistical irrelevance...

these shootings are from the last month in chicago. mass shootings are common as shit. they are primarily gang related and primarily black perpetrators and victims.
chicago has 301 shootings this year and its been 75 days. 301/75 is 4 people shot everyday on average. literally a mass shooting everyday.
Quote:
A new analysis of 358 mass shootings in America in 2015 found that three-quarters of the victims whose race could be identified were black.

Roughly a third of the incidents with known circumstances were drive-by shootings or were identified by law enforcement as gang-related. Another third were sparked by arguments, often among people who were drunk or high.

Its incommon enough to be a problem that needs some kind of public reform. I also thought of putting gun cases for "In Case of Emergency".
Since mass murder by firearms is a serious issue, I think its legit idea.

only about 5,100 people die in the US each year from criminal gun violence...
or about 0.000015% of the population... so no, i don't think this is an issue that is in desperate need of social reform. mass murder by firearms is a statistically insignificant issue.. it just doesn't fucking matter. 15 millionths of a percent...

Man I canβt imagine how many lives would be saved if American criminals had to use knives to commit their crimes.
About 5000 people sought emergency care for stabbings in the UK last year. 280 died. Thatβs 5.6% death to injury rate.
In the US, 100,120 were shot with a gun last year. 36,383 died. Thatβs a 36% death rate.
I think the brits have it figured out
Did you think knives were anywhere as dangerous or deadly as guns? Forcing people to resort to less deadly forms of violence is not a failure of gun control. Itβs one of the objectives.

During the first six months of the year, police recorded 39,332 knife crime offenses -- a 12 percent increase over last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Other violent crimes, including murder and robbery, also increased by double-digit percentages.
Data also showed the number of homicides in which a knife or sharp instrument was used increased by 25 percent in the last year, ONS said.

Also do one where the x and y axis arenβt pseudo logarithmic or haphazard. Those are some of the most skewed graphs Iβve ever seen.
Christ look at the percent gun ownership axis. The numbers are all over the place.

Iβm not sure what your point is. Iβve alrwady explained things to you.
Seems like Britain is experiencing a bit of a crime wave. Arenβt they lucky not to have many guns? Imagine if all the gun crime in Chicago was knife crime instead. There would be hundreds of fewer murders.

Is that a serious question? How do you get away with discussing these issues and not have a clue how much higher the homicide rate is in the US than other equally developed western nations.
The UK homicide rate is about 1.25/100,000. The US rate is 4x higher, about 5/100,000.

Wouldn't everyone go barreling towards the body armor case, causing chaos and trampling over others, and creating a huge mass of humans gathering around and towards one single area for the shooter to unload into?
Absolutely awful idea that would cost 10 times more lives than it saves.

Not to mention the fact that it would take them longer to get the body armor and figure out how to put it on than it would to get a safe distance from the danger.

Assuming Americans would resort to knives if we banned guns is foolhardy, Americans are exceptional creatures - and they would be entirely unique and impressive in their way as is their nature. I would assume a mass "knife attack" would be perpetrated by something like this:

Police killed four assailants[3][4] and captured one injured female. The assailants left 31 civilians and 4 perpetrators[1] dead, with more than 140 others injured.[5][6]

I wonder wtf is up with that, school shootings are deadlier here than the Chinese school stabbings... but what makes them strange and exceptional is that they are almost entirely perpetrated by older people - and I cant think of a single school shooting in the us that was an older person?

8 attackers and only 31 dead? Thatβs only 3.85 kills each. Thatβs not even enough to qualify as a mass shooting.

Your arguments on here are a bit insensitive, man 
Regardless, almost 4 kills with a knife alone is pretty impressive, especially against panicked victims in a public place. Zodiac killer stabbed a tied-up and motionless dude in the back like 20 times and he lived.

Yes itβs impressive for a knife attack. Itβs barely newsworthy as a gun attack.

If 30 people were shot down in New York, it would make the fuckin news bro lol. It doesn't matter the K/D ratio of the attackers. If there was 1 attacker or 100. They killed 30 people man. Your point is terrible. There are much better ways to get across the retardedly obvious point of "it's easier to kill people with a gun than a knife". Like why the fuck are you even trying to argue that lol.

knives were reasonably effective in this case of a downtrodden minority making a political statement to Han chinese in the region. I'm pretty sure knife restrictions followed. They probably would have used guns if they were more readily available. In reality, the fact that these uyghurs resorted to a knife attack in a railway station highlights how effective firearms restrictions are at maintaining oppressive power structures. https://www.fastcompany.com/40510238/in-xinjiang-china-some-knives-branded-with-owners-qr-codes

Good point. The shooter might put it to their advantage. And getting them would be chaos.
What about designed armored areas/shields or something. Maybe a case for non-lethal weapons perhaps In Case of Emergency.

that's awesome.
I think I got something. Make a special "Firearm Alarm". It would work like a Fire Alarm, just has a different loud annoying sound maybe with recorded gun shots or something similar. It would cause a diversion during the mass shooting, which may save lives. Then teach about mass shootings in schools so people can understand what the sound represents.

Great idea. Let's take a chaotic situation and make it even more chaotic by adding gunshot sounds everywhere. That way, the death toll from the mass panic will be far greater than the death toll from the actual shooter. It will reduce the incentive to do the shooting at all.
Hell, they won't even need a gun. Just wait until black Friday and run around pulling shooter alarms.

How about putting collars on every person in the building that are rigged to IM a concoction of a high dose of ketamine and pentobarbital when a sound louder than 130dB is registered.
The teacher can also manually trigger the ketamine injection but not the pentobarbital one (in case of a silenced weapon/knife)
Also, the principal can hit a button which floods the school with 15% nitrous oxide, while simultaneously lowering the oxygen concentration to around 9%. (Both to lower risk of explosion, and reduce ability for strenuous physicality

I heard that most deaths in mass shootings are caused by running towards the gunman. If we handcuff everybody to their chairs, this can be prevented.

Also this glass case is rigged with an alarm thats unlabelled. When you break the glass, it sets off an alarm similiar to a fire alarm (but slightly different). Therefore if a shooter breaks it, it warns everyone theres a shooter in the building (or a prankster).

Another shooting just occurred: https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/uncc-shooting-multiple-dead-injured-shooting-university-north-carolina-charlotte-today-2019-04-30/
But there is good news! Only 2 people died (RIP). Typically dozens of people die in these types of public shootings. It would seem that the college students of this University were "ready" to escape this situation. This is good news, gunshot avoidance is key to saving lives. Public places need more active shooter drills to help train people to save themselves.

And yet another school shooting in Colorado, near Columbine: https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2019/may/08/latest-students-used-2-handguns-colorado-shooting/
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/08/us/colorado-shooting-victims.html
The good news is only one kid died (RIP). This is signifigant as school shootings typically end up with a dozen or more deaths which could have been prevented if certain policies and procedures were in place beforehand.
In the news story, its mentioned that a private security officer heard the shooting then quickly notified the police which ended the shooting quickly. What a great thing that was!
Should private security be mandatory for schools as it appears to be effective in preventing deaths during a shooting? Would America vote for such a policy? Would the addition of a Body Armor Case located in the school prevent injuries or is it too impractical for these random shootings?

With the recent 3 mass shootings this last week, occurring 49 hours between each incident, I feel like my "politically-influenced invention" sounds like a good idea.
What do you guys think?

What if the shooter grabs the armor? Seriously, I do something similar. I have a 3A vest in my office and a 4 trauma plate in my bag nowadays. I wear the vest for the big lectures, which thankfully I rarely teach, I'm mostly doing higher level work with small classes nowadays. Lab, I'm not worried, I can deal with fire better than most and I can make huge fireballs better than most.
Then there's the issue of vest/person, because two people fighting over a vest make it 100% less effective.
Honestly, just lying down and hoping you survive is a better move. Grab a nearby body and hide under it. Bit like Mai Lai. I know if I was a shooter I'd secure the armor dispenser first (then again I'd use my knowledge and rig the whole building, if not the city block, to explode on a deadman switch at that point, shooting really isn't the most effective method of mass murder, it's just that most people that make bombs become fine pink mists in the process). You could try shooting back, but that's more than likely just gonna mean multiple shooters found and "neutralized" by police, just like that one (black) security guard that responded to a shooter and got his head blown off by the law for his trouble.
There isn't really a solution. At least, not a viable solution, given US politics. Thoughts and prayers. Pray your ass don't get hit, and think about the medical bills if it does as motivation to either not get hit or die immediately.
EDIT: Also, in relation to OP partly, but it's pretty easy to buy a vest with a trauma plate that's rated to stop rifle rounds, I got mine for under 500$. Not at all illegal in the US, at least. I don't really get why the shooters we keep hearing about seem to never buy armor, that seems to be the second thing on the list right after the AK (AR-15 is too unreliable, see Florida, dude's gun jammed, so he likely didn't kill as many as he could have, same with the movie theater shooting). Guess they're not really all that bright. Then again, they do wear MAGA hats, so...
EDIT2: I guess a gun is cheaper than a vest, looking up local prices, I can get an AR15, a couple mags, and a few thousand bullets for 500$.

That definitely could happen. But it would also stall what the shooter is doing as he would have to break the glass then grab the vest, with his back turned toward people who could jump him. It would make him vulnerable.
I mean, yeah everyone being armed would be nice except how many people want to carry a firearm when they go to the nightclub or the store?

Oh, so these would be set up in alcoves? In other words, people trying to grab armor would have to bunch up, and approach a dispenser in small numbers at a time?
Sounds like a great place to shoot, personally. It'd be like camping a spawn in Halo. Bit like that Garlic festival shooting in Cali. Dude used what, a ten round SKS, and got three kills and 12 injuries in a single mag dump? I mean, that's one hell of an advertisement for the SKS. 150% casualties per bullet. US military currently averages somewhere around 250,000 bullets per Iraqi. They should probably start buying up SKS rifles.
Of course, shooters tend not to be the smartest people around. If they had more than two brain cells to rub together, they'd use bombs, which are way more effective, and also way harder to use, since they're super illegal and damn near impossible to acquire and require some skill to make.

You could just have a "break glass for gun" station, except then a shooter doesn't even need to stop by walmart (Well, unless they're doing the El Paso, or the Mississippi) first.
Also, it takes time to put a vest on. Last three shooters were all taken out in less time than it takes to put on a vest, with plenty of kills each. And then what about sizing? Vests need a proper size and a proper fit to be effective. Guns don't. I can kill you with a gun, my grandpa could kill you with a gun, a three year old could kill you with a gun, hell, a couple people a year (on average) in the US get shot by their own DOGS.
Kinda seems like there might be an obvious solution to this problem, but, ya know...can't quite figure it out. Simply can't be done.

Most of the mass shootings happen in gun free zones so shootings are never going to go away. Violence is just part of human nature. Ever look up chimps going to war on YouTube? They literally ripped each other apart for the fun of it. Sometimes they even eat the young. We still have that killer instinct inside of us. If they didnt have guns they would use explosives or other objects to kill. Look at what happened in the UK. They took the guns and violence went up! So many people are getting stabbed to death that they want to ban knifes! It's not the gun or knife it's us that's the problem! It's impossible to stop this from happening so you might as well man up and buy a gun. The 2nd amendment isn't going away in your lifetime so why even talk about this anyways? This isn't like new Zealand. If the government tried to take are guns countless police officers would die and they know that. It just isn't going to happen. How many times are you guy's going to talk about gun control? Why argue about something you can't change? It's just a way to divide members on this site. Its honestly kind of childish. In 40 years A.I is going to take over and guy's are worried about this shit .

It is not in human nature to just unload death onto a crowd of innocent men, women, and children. That's ridiculous. America clearly has a very big problem with shootings and that problem is very clearly not "human nature", or else all the other places that have high proportions of guns would experience shootings. But they are few and far between abroad, whereas they are so frequent here that it is barely even headline news unless it breaks records, which seems to happen constantly also.
Blaming everything on guns is naive. Blaming everything on "human nature" is more naive.

I think people would flock to the armor, fight over it, and create a soft target.
The better option is to turn around and pop the shooter with your pistol.

The problem is that almost all of the recent shooters had this happen to them, but still managed to kill and injure as many as they did. Most died within 1 minute of opening fire, but they still managed to kill 30+ people and injure 50+. I mean, I'm all for the good guy with a gun, but this makes it seem like even a good guy with a gun situation would still result in 30+ deaths 50+ injuries 
Body armor is not going to work at all. One of the shooters was wearing it, and it didn't help him at all.
The only thing I can realistically think of is building lots of thick stone walls everywhere so that if you move a bit away from where the shooter is, there's a bunch of stone walls between you and him. You would want regular openings in these walls to allow easy movement, and it might still create a soft target around common points of exit, but that's all I can think of.

I built a bunch brick walls in random places on a school in Modesto Ca a few years ago . Thatβs what they were for , for kids to hide behind . That idea is about 10 years old , maybe more . Itβs a very expensive way to give kids hope .

I mean, the bottom line is that guns/bombs/whatever are no deadlier now than they were 5/10/20 years ago(don't nitpick this, it's generally true). Crowds are no more vulnerable. There isn't much you can do if you happen to be standing in a crowd when someone attacks with a ranged weapon. If they fire a trebuchet at a crowd, its gonna take out several people in the first second. Its a fucked deal, but i don't know that there's a simple solution unless we want to go full minority report and start arresting people in advance for shootings that they are likely to commit.

I dont really understand the trebuchet point lol. I dont see how pointing out that weapons have an easy time killing crowds of people says anything. Can't exactly stroll into a mall and SURPRISE BITCH pull a fuckin trebuchet out your trench coat and a boulder from your back pocket

you can erect and fire a trebuchet from the park across the street. probably wouldn't even get hassled while you were doing it.

The point was that primitive weapons can kill people in crowds very quickly. A dude with a sword could probably hack up the line for da clurb and fuck up several people within a few seconds before they could even react

i guess the real takeaway is that crowds are vulnerable and always have been. Then again, if everyone is afraid of crowds, the terrorists win and shit. what should we do about it?

Yes, crowds are vulnerable, and always have been. There haven't always been weapons that the average person can acquire that allow them to kill dozens people in a crowd in under a minute.
There arent mass sword attacks, there arent mass crossbow assaults, there aren't trebuchet mall sieges. There are shootings.

We're specifically referring to mass attacks on crowds of people. Murder can happen with anything. You can't kill dozens of people in the time these shooters do with a sword. In fact I would imagine that the bigger the crowd was, the more difficult it would be.
It so obviously makes no point at all about the sheer effectiveness of guns and how widespread they are that I dont even know why I addressed it lol. I cant believe yall are literally comparing swords and TREBUCHETS to guns, what is going on lol. You usually got some decent points ballsalsa

i would argue that in a crowd of people, a sword could kill as quick or quicker. a sword is going to do more damage to most organs than a bullet, unless we're talking shotgun ammunition.

Its not inaccurate it shows how backwards the US is compared to European nations with gun control. The time of the wild west gun scene in the US is coming to end and people like you are just going to have to adapt.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. What an unbelievably ignorant point. Swords absolutely would not be more effective at mass killing than a modern gun. Do some reading up on swords and melee combat. Or some reflection on common sense.

Hasn't happened often but vehicles is something the average person has access to that would fit the bill, I'm sure if you are creative enough there are many other ways. For the most part a gun is the easiest and in America it's glamorized making it in my opinion the preferred tool especially if you are weak and want a false sense power.
Untimely you can't create laws to stop individuals who logically come to the conclusion of killing as many people as possible to make a point the exception would be war. Something is obviously wrong this mass killings are symptoms of the problem and I don't think taking guns away will cure the disease.

I said multiple times that blaming all this on guns is naive. There is clearly a much bigger problem than guns, though the amount of guns in america and the ease of getting them compared to most countries is certainly nothing to dismiss. At this point i am literally arguing that guns are more effective at killing lots of people than swords. I have no idea what im doing with my life.

It falsely represents the amount of shootings in america compared to european nations. We absolutely have more shootings than in europe, but the nuumbers of "0" compared to "241" are an immense misrepresentation of it. They literally use different standards to define mass killings. The numbers on there are just downright false and make it look like America is the only country that has any real issue with mass violence and shootings which just is not the case.

Im not trained at all with a sword or even have great cardio but i bet in a crowd an average person like my self could run through with a katana and get 5+ kills. Probably more cause its not like slicing through your stomach or neck makes much noise until people start screaming.

Gotta love that big fat F. Also, teflon does not shit on armor penetration, cop killers are a myth.

You'd think so, right? Except, other countries have mass stabbings. China is a big one for this, UK has been brought up a few time this thread. Sword, machete, knife...most people survive.
Same day as Stoneman, there was a mass stabbing at a mall in China. Scoreboard:
US: 17 dead, 2 injured China: 1 dead, 14 injured.
Honestly, I think the solution to gun violence is just to ignore it. It's only a few dozen people at a time, who cares? A dozen people are really not that important when there's 7 billion of us. Ya get shot? Shit, man. Better luck next time. You live? Cool. Moving on.
