[QUOTE="soberups, post: 999244, member: 14668"] To those who claim that the lunatics body armor would have prevented an armed civilian from taking him out, I offer this in rebuttal. This picture is of a frame filled with clay, over which level IIIA body armor (the kind worn by police) has been placed in order to test the effectiveness of the armor against a typical handgun round--in this case a 9mm with a jacketed hollowpoint bullet. You can see that the armor did indeed prevent the bullet from penetating...[I]but look at the clay behind it.[/I] The kinetic energy of the round made a dent almost the size of a fist in the clay. If that clay was instead the torso of the lunatic...he would be down on his miserable knees puking, with broken ribs and the wind knocked out of him, instead of standing there and shooting at people. And he [I]sure[/I] as hell wouldnt have had that stupid, smug grin on his face when they took his mugshot. Armor or not, just [I]one[/I] armed person in that theater with the ability to make [I]one[/I] hit on the lunatics center of mass could have saved a [I]lot[/I] of lives that night. Unfortunately, we will never know. [ATTACH=full]7058[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]7059[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
