WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the m...

Prosecute the parents. Pass restrictions on magazine capacity.
I genuinely think that improving access to mental health resources would do more good. Find out what is causing a small subset of kids to want to shoot people and usually themselves. Guns are a symptom not the core issue imo
Were they bullied? Did the faculty care? What did the family situation look like? Were requests for help ignored?
I think it would help with the overall trend of more depressed/suicidal kids too.
And until we're done completely overhauling our mental health system, maybe we just give the children... bullet proof vests?
Honestly it's not off the table and it would be easier than completely overhauling our firearm sale/posession systems. Have a box of them in a classoom in case of emergency, just like having a fire extinguisher or first aid kit.
Soft armor doesn't stop rifle rounds. Plate carriers are heavy and suck to move around in. Sizing is another issue since most are made for men not kids. But maybe it would be a good investment since they can be stored and reused for quite a while
You realize you sound insane, right? Plate carriers? For kids? Come on, they all already have backpacks. We just issue each kid with a ballistic plate and tuck them in there. Maybe some anti-spalling pads too. Sure it might be a little heavier, but think of the exercise they'd get! We can call it "No Child Shot From Behind"!
No no no we just fill the plates with tannerite and ball bearings so as soon as a shooter hits a backpack the shooter is taken out AND ends the suffering of the victims!
I'm just imagining the chain reaction if a bunch of kids are together.
